Story

Seeing someone you love so much being diagnosed with Breast Cancer just shatters their world and yours. Watching them being told they have Cancer and that you are not being able to do anything to take this horrible disease  away from them but to love them, comfort them and support them through their treatment and recovery is the hardest thing I have ever seen and done. 

After years of doing no fitness activities at all in 2012 with the kids I took part in the Sport Relief Mile. Having to buy trainers, shorts and the rest of the kit I thought I might as well get my moneys worth out of them. I started running around the park and now run regularly about once a week. For several years I have thought about running the Yeovil Half Marathon but never really had the motivation to step up to the distance. 

I then realised that I had all the motivation I needed right next to me. xx

Breast Cancer Care is the only specialist UK-wide charity in the UK providing care, support and information to anyone affected by breast cancer.

If you can give just a little to help we would be most appreciated.
