I do this every year, I gather a bunch of pals, family and work mates and its a really good day out for a great cause. The first year I trained to run it but after seeing all the people there with 'I race for life for my mum who passed with cancer' I just held my mums hand all the way round and had a lovley chat about my nan and uncle who passed from cancer, it was a really special morning. The year after I got my aunt and her girls involved and now its like a annual family event and we raised over £1000 between us last year.

If you fancy giving it a go have a look here...

I took part in this one year with my daughter, and I have to say we had a great time.

Sadly due to work, shifts, uni etc we haven't done it since, but I keep it in mind as something maybe I can do next time, maybe with some of my cohort at uni.

Congrats on raising so much money TallPoppy, and for such a worthwhile cause too.
