So many of my loved ones have been affected by cancer! I have said that my race is in hour of my Nanna as you can only pick one name on the page, but the truth is I'll be running for those that are no longer here, my Nanna Mary, Grandad Thomas, Gran Joyce, Aunt Isabel, Helen and Malcolm. Not just that the people who have bravely won their battles like my amazingly strong Aunty Pauline who's smile could light a room no matter how hard the journey got, and to those who have had to use their strength to fight the battle before it hit like my close friend Emma she has had to have an amazing strength and consider invasive procedures at such a young age to protect her future health. I am inspired by so many amazing people in my life and lucky to have had them even if for a short period..
