I did it!

I did it....ran 5K for the first time ever.  I am very proud of myself!

It was a fun event and very emotional to see so many people running in memory of friends and family affected by Cancer and raising over £200 000 for Cancer Research.  I know so many people, including myself, who have hope for the future because of the research progressing almost daily. Twenty years ago my prognosis would be much more bleak but I am lucky enough to be benefiting from the latest advances in Radiotherapy and Hormone therapy treatment.  I am also 'lucky' to have a cancer that has been so vastly researched resulting in the production of successful, targeted drug therapies.  Hopefully in another Twenty years nobody will die from Breast Cancer, and other, rarer, cancers will be much more treatable.  I hope for a Cancer free future for my Children and my Children's Children.

 My running buddy Mandy and our crazy Smurf friend, we don't know her, really ;-)

 On the home stretch with our kiddies taking a break from playing on the beach to cheer us on!

  At the end feeling mighty proud of ourselves and already making plans for the 5K in under 30 mins next year or attempting the 10K.
