I take part in the race for life in memory of my lovely mum, my person, my best friend because as the time gets greater from the last time I heard her laugh I miss her more each day. Mother Gray lost her fight to cancer in January 2014, but she did it with such courage, strength and grace I’ll always be so proud to call her my mum. She was amazing and words will never do her any justice. 

Also for the lovely Mrs Vicars, who is never far from my thoughts. 

For the Birchall family, because they always have a smile on their face.

For Tia Maria, for simply being so fabulous. 

So here's to life and teaching cancer a lesson, here's to hope that one day there will be a cure. Please donate whatever you can, no matter how small, every penny means we're one step closer to seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. One step closer to seeing everyone we love survive such a horrible thing.
