There are some things you never imagine facing. 

For me, a half marathon was one of them. 

Then again so was having a child with cancer. 

After being diagnosed with lymphoma twice, a bone marrow transplant was my daughter Emily's best chance of recovery and Anthony Nolan made it possible for her to find a match and get better. Originally it was her, the crazy teen who wanted to run this race- not me, but bone marrow transplants aren't the best fitness boosters and I needed a challenge. 

This isn't just about raising money, it's about health, so that even though I couldn't be a match for Emily, if someone else needed me to be a donor I would be fit enough to do so.

£100 puts a new donor on the Anthony Nolan Register. £100 makes the difference for someone like my daughter having a lifesaving match....or not.

So please! Donate! After all, is there anything funnier than some school yard Mum's donning running gear?
