Cancer Research 10K race

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.

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

And Rascal is a real sweetie! *g*

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

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.
