Run Posh Al Run…!

‘Run Posh Al Run…!’

Were the guilty cries I heard in my head in Guildford on Sunday when I watched the ladies from Race for Life set off…I was meant to be running you see, but got confused (it’s easily done) and ended up watching from the sidelines as my family all made their way around the 5K course.

I’d been at the race on Saturday too with PG, which was fabulous fun and a real pleasure to meet so many people personally (listeners or not) and also hear some of the touching stories from those that had been affected by cancer and why they felt they wanted to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

It is truly astonishing how many people are affected, either personally or through a close friend or relative, and seeing 7,000 women (and countless more family members that had come along to show their support) in Stoke Park over the weekend really brought home how important it is to find a cure for this dreadful disease.

So I’ve made a pact with myself; to take part again next year and raise as much money as possible; (and also beat my sister’s very good time of 24 minutes!!!) not only for those that are currently living with the consequences of Cancer but for those that may develop it in the future.

Well done to those of you that did a sterling job this weekend; it was great to meet you & shake you by the hand & also to see what can be achieved if you really want to whatever your age – I’ll be patting my own back next year…& hopefully crossing the line at 23 mins & 30secs & ahead of my little sister!

Posh
