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.

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*

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*

Well done, you! I'm really glad you got to run this race . . . a very "special" one.

Rascal does love to have his picture taken, doesn't he . . .?

Quite a collection of medals you've got going now!

*hugs*
