10 years ago in June, I lost my wonderful mum, Adrienne. I don't need to tell you how devastating that was, or how much I miss her every single day. I do feel the need to tell you however, that I know so many friends who have experienced the same loss as I have. I'm angry that I know so many other people who have tried to fight this dreadful disease and lost. I'm annoyed at how unfair life seems sometimes. 

So I've decided to run another marathon, this time in one of my favourite cities in the whole wide world. So while this is a partly selfish endevour, I've decided to set myself the challenge of raising £1000 for Cancer Research UK. I've paid my own race fee, flights and accommodation - all £1000 is going towards CR UK. 

Running 26.2miles is just an aside - we should all be contributing just a little, to make a massive difference in the world.
