Why Take Part?

I’ve been asked this question a few times lately when people have heard that I’m doing Race for Life for the third time this year, and I thought it would be a good idea to get it down into words (because my answer is usually “er…to raise money”)
As many of you probably know, my mum [...]

Race for Life – Come Join Me!

So, remember how the pain. Oh god, the PAIN amazing and fulfilling pleasure that running the Race for Life gave me last year? No, me either. (I lie, it was pretty awesome)

I’ve been describing my running [...]

Race for Life (part 2)

My running [...]

Race for Life (part 1)

Me in 2007, after the run in Chester
So after a year off (which was down to my move – when I was in Chester, the event was in Bristol, and when I was in Bristol, it was in Chester!), I have signed up for the Race for Life again.  I’m hoping to raise even more [...]
