Cancer is a disease that touches all of us in one way or another. The ongoing search for better understanding and treatment requires vast sums of money.

A great deal of this money is raised by charitable events such as the Race4Life. This national event involves thousands of women racing, running and walking in memory of friends loved ones, family and colleagues.

Gill and I decided to join the many women at the SKM course in Stanmer park for this year's event. We did this in memory of family and friends and three colleagues from the Health Centre we have lost to cancer - Diana reeve, Christine Heath and Mary Staley.

With generous sponsorship from the staff we raised £215. We plan to undertake the Race4Life again next year and raise even more money.
