I'm doing the race for life this year, and would really appreciate anyone sponsoring me.
So please sponsor me!
It's for a good cause, and it would mean a lot to me if I could raise lots of money.
So, I wasn't going to explain this - I didn't want to make my race a sob story. Because I don't feel you need to have had cancer affect you to want to raise money, as luckily, touch wood, although it's something that has been a part of my family it has never directly changed my life. But I figured I may as well. My sister's boyfriend Dan is amazing, I'm really close to him. When he was 14 his twin sister Amanda died from cancer. He was obviously really close to her, and I can still see the affect it has on him today. Anyway, even though the money won't go directly to her charity, it'll still go towards finding a cure for cancer. And maybe more immediate and importantly it will help support the victim's families during what can only be described as an unimaginably hard time, as well as making the situation as comfortable as possible for the patient.
I asked Dan if I could run for Amanda, and he was really touched and appreciative. So, that's my focus this year. And I love Dan to pieces and I would never wish what he went through on anyone, and if by running a poxy 5k I can help out at all, then I will.
