I'm joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year. Please join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring me - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

I am running in memory of my Grannie, of Leanne Lucas and all other friends and loved ones who have battled with cancer.

I've chosen to do this event because I wanted to do something that was a challenge. Anyone who knows me will know I really hate running, so I thought it would be good to do something out of my comfort zone. This is a 5k run, interspersed with very muddy obstacles to climb over, crawl under and run through.

Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.

Don't forget to add Gift Aid. If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no extra cost to you.

Please sponsor me if you can - I would really appreciate it and the money you give will make such a difference.
