In April 2011, I fulfilled a promise to my mum and completed a marathon in aid of breast cancer research.
 

Over the last few years I've done a lot of running and fundraising in her memory and this year is no different!

 
This time I'll be completing Total Warrior in August - a 10k assault course with 8ft walls, swamps, tunnels and fire - suddenly the old school 10k sounds fairly easy!! (www.totalwarrior.co.uk) 

 
My mum endured a lot of cancer treatment and pain over the years, yet she lived with a smile on her face. She was a fighter and never gave up, nor did she stop smiling, and that's how I would like to tackle my training... and life! 

Cancer took my mum from me way too early and I wish I could stop other people from going through the same pain.  We have to stop this disease and I want to help by raising awareness and money so that essential research can take place.

 
I aim to raise as much as possible and will do whatever I can to reach my goal.  I hope you'll help me along the way!

Thanks again to everyone for all the support you've given me and my family over the years.  It's meant so much to us.

I miss you Mum!

 

Love Claire xx
