<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Sunday 9th October ... two weeks on and I'm thrilled that I've managed to raise &pound;500, which is amazing, so thank you to everyone who has donated !</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>I ran all the way and managed a time of 2hrs 11mins, which is not bad considering my goal was 2hrs 10mins and I was full of cold. The atmosphere on the day was amazing, the crowds were so encouraging and I absolutely loved running. I am definitely going to run another half, next year ...</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Madly, I set myself the challenge of running a half marathon last year and have been in training for it since February. I have been really struggling with a dodgy hip since May, but I am still determined to run the race and, hopefully, get around in a good time.</span></strong></p> <p>I have decided to run for CANCERactive, <span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Britain&acute;s Number 1 holistic cancer information charity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their aim is to empower people to increase their personal odds of beating cancer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do this by providing ALL the information, not just on orthodox cancer treatments, but on complementary cancer therapies and some, currently alternative, cancer treatments too.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>Every penny that you donate will be going to a great cause ... and it will definitely keep me running, running, running ... so thank you in advance !</p>
