Story

This year will be Tina's race no 3, probably the hardest part of the fundraising is putting this page together xxx In 2012 our family were told the devastating news that my dear Mum had an incurable brain tumour, I cant begin to describe the pain and sadness that something like this brings to a family and the horrendous battle my Mum endured to fight for her life. Trinity Hospice gave us such precious time with Mum, time to build special memories and the pleasure of seeing her beautiful smiling face for a little bit longer. All projects funded by Trinity are outside the scope of the NHS and would not exist without charitable support, but they often have a huge impact on patients, making their cancer journey easier and more bearable. One of the most difficult things was not being able to swap places with my Mum, its such a helpless feeling having to watch her fight and do nothing to stop this soul destroying illness. I decided as long as I am lucky enough to have my health that I would run this race every year,  to do just a little something to help, to raise awareness and also give something back to this wonderful foundation. As most of you know the only type of running I usually do is at the bar for last orders so its certainly a challenge!!  I will really be working hard for your contribution and any donation would mean the absolute world.My mum was the most amazing, gracious and brave lady I have ever had the honour of knowing and the one thing she has never stopped doing throughout was smile, every minute of every day, please help me to reach my target and to give a little something back to these amazing people who support people like us everyday, they truly are angels sent from heaven xxxx Thank you for taking the time to read this xxxxx Love always Jan xxxx

Memories xx

You meant so much to all who knew you, you were special and that's no lie. You brightened up the darkest day and the cloudiest sky. Your smile alone warmed hearts, your laugh was like music to hear. I would give anything, absolutely anything, to have you well and standing near. Not a second will pass when you're not on our minds. Your love, we will never forget. The hurt "they say, will ease in time." Many tears I have seen and cried. They all poured out like rain. I know that you are happy now, and no longer in any pain. Knowing all of this doesn't make It any easier for those left behind to  deal with the reality that you are  really gone. Mum, how I miss you, every waking day, I curse the Cancer that took  you away. I miss your warm hands, I miss the talks we had. I miss the times when words were of no need. And I hope, my love you'll always feel. Sitting here thinking about you. I hear you call my name. As I turn to see who's calling me I see no one, only hear your voice. Still your calling out my name, only louder. As the tears roll down my face. I realize your trying to tell me your safe, happy, and out of pain.

Heaven has gained an angel and the most beautiful smile

Once, twice, three times a lady xxxxx
