Cancer Research 10K race

[bluespirit]

I ran in the Cancer Research UK 10K event at Weston Park yesterday.
Last year my wonderful Dad had been there cheering me along - this time I ran in his memory & had his picture on my running vest. It's only been three weeks since our world became a dimmer place & so I did get a little teary as I ran the course. But I wanted to do it for my Dad & to help raise money so that hopefully one day no one else will be lost to this terrible disease.

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored me & helped support this vital charity. This link goes to my fundraising page, if anyone did want to sponsor me online, thank you. ♥

And because it's tradition - here's a pic of Rascal modelling my medal.

Lovely to see Rascal, as always. He has such a serious, sweet face.

Glad your run went well! Very cool, that you had dad's picture on your shirt--I'm sure he was cheering for you and that he's proud of you for running, even though it was sad.

I was so sorry to hear about your dad. *hugs you tight*

Thank you so much, sweetheart.
It's been a difficult few months - with Dad being ill & then his passing - but I wanted to try & raise some much needed money for such a good cause.
*hugs*

Go you! How wonderful that you could do that in your Father's memory.

And Rascal is a real sweetie! *g*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you. He was a truly wonderful man. ♥
I really wanted to do something positive to try to help fight this terrible disease.
*hugs*

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

You are very good to do that.

My best friend died of breast cancer at the age of 40, leaving a 9 and a 12 year old behind. Cancer is a HORRIBLE disease.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
Under the circumstances, this was a magnificent effort.
My thoughts are with you.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank so much.
*hugs*
I miss him so very much, every minute of the day but I can only hope that doing this will help a little towards saving someone else this heartache in the future.

Rascal looks fabulous - bless him! What a great close up of his beautiful face! And well done you for a great run too :-).

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
It was a lovely morning - a little sad because Dad had been with us last year but also a celebration of him & his tremendous spirit & enthusiasm for life. ♥
Rask had a great time - though he did try to follow me as I ran past at the 5K mark! *g*

[xanthelj.livejournal.com]

Oh bless Rascal for trying to follow you *ggg*. That's so cute! And I can understand the mixed emotions because of your dad but he would have been so proud of you for doing this.

*Hugs*

Awww. I just want to give Rasc a big hug everytime you show a pic of him. :)

I think that's wonderful that you are trying to get more people involved in the fight against cancer. Your Dad will certainly be smiling down on you from heaven for it. *hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetheart.

Dad had a tremendous enthusiasm for life & such a positive outlook & so I just want to try & do what I can in his memory. ♥

[caffyolay.livejournal.com]

Well done and I'm sure your lovely dad knows how well you did. :-) And Rask is such a good model - well done, Rask! ;-)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thanks, C - I like to think that he was there with us all. ♥

Yes, Rask is a bit blase about all these medals now I think - how exhausting for him! LOL

[pirate-hussies.livejournal.com]

We are all so proud of you and I know your dad is too.
You did a marvelous job and it was a lovely morning. Rask looks gorgeous (as always)give him a snuggle from Auntie V.

Love you,
