Earlier this year my Gorgeous, Amazingly Generous and VERY Glamorous Mother in Law Jean Birch was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She is currently going through treatment and given how strong this Lady is I'm certain she will show it who's the boss. This isn't the first time Cancer has come knocking on our door as many of you know. It took my Mum in 2000 and then took my Father in Law in 2001. As a family we have done numerous events for this worthy Charity, I did the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 5k and the Great North Run in 2010. I feel it's time for me to do my bit again and to motivate myself for a worthy cause and start with this Skipping Challenge. {Currently can't skip more than 10 in one go haha}.

I would also like to mention my colleague Carol who is also going through it with her mum Margaret. This is for everyone who is or has been through tough times with this horrendous cruel disease.
