Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This will be my blog where you can keep update on my fundraising events and my training progress. I have been lucky and never personally met CANCER but I know friends who have and I want to do my bit in honour of the bravery of every person who has.
Wow where to begin. This just started off a notion to do this and before I knew it registered and paid and now its real. Just like cancer is very real. I don't have a personal story to tell about cancer as my story starts here and now. However in the last year I have witnessed it ravage the family of two friends. Cancer does not care who you are; your age or about the damage it causes and the pain and suffering it creates.
THIS IS THE START OF MY JOURNEY TO RAISE FUNDS AND TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE -
CANCER WERE COMING TO GET YOU !!!

Today I set up this page and text giving. Last year I vowed to lose my excess body weight and this year to improve my fitness. I knew I would need something that would make and keep me motivated. knowing that people are depending on me to do this and help raise much needed funds is my motivation. Doing 10k will be a challenge but I WILL DO IT !!
Felt strangley emotional whilst doing this and been thinking a lot my two friends and their familys.
Friend 1 ( wild child ) lost her grandmother and I frequently see how lost "wildchild" is without her. "Wildchild" has a tough life compared to mine and very rarely complains or lets their pain be seen but sometimes everyday things were "wildchild" maybe has to make a hard decision and not quite sure what to do the phrase" I wish gramdma was here she would know" appears and is said with such sorrow and I can see the pain in "wildchilds" eyes. I hate to see "wildchild" hurting and knowing I can never make that pain better.
Friend 2 (brave soldier) has a parent currently fighting cancer. I don't see brave soldier often. "Brave soldiers"parent is now fighting cancers 3rd/4th attack on them. "brave soldier" is shy and quiet. I can't begin to imagine how scared "brave soldier" must feel on the inside. And "brave soldiers" parent- such bravery for the same fight again and again and again.
I admire both friends for very different reasons and although at this point in time I know i can't make the past or the present better for them but I can do my bit to help make the future better AND SO CAN YOU!!
Every penny really does count so please please help me reach my target by donating those vitally needed funds. xxxx
