Sunday 31st May

I got all excited and thought I'd listen to radio interview I did in week and then post it here....but for some reason the BBC has half the programme on South West and half in Jersey! Bit of a mess up on their station I think, but maybe that's for the best...

The Race for Life this morning went really well, the twins were brilliant in the warm up and despite the rain lashing down and windy conditions there was a good turn out, and quite a few late entries which was excellent.
Adding up my sponsorship total with offline and online donations, plus cash that people have given me in the week, I raised for Cancer Research a staggering amount of money.

£3,083.87

 Not entirely sure why it's a random number, think I'll just round it up myself!

I really enjoyed myself (not the shivering bit pre race) but the thought of close friends and family some of whom are no longer with us kept me going. There were people who I know would have been more than pleased to have been out of hospital and be able to join in the 'Race" in whatever capacity, and there were plenty of walkers out there this morning. I'm glad I didn't sign up for the 10k, it would have been tough in today's weather, and I take my hat off to those brave souls.

Names I should have added are 'Jess' and 'Oscar", in fact the list goes on, I did well not to get too emotional, just had a little wobble when i came into the Finish line, but luckily HD a friend I jogged with was a great support.

 It was raining quite hard, but we smiled nearly all the way!!

   

This article I read in yesterday's paper, was all about obesity and chance of getting cancer ....hmmm . 'unlucky me'! but I particularly liked the statement at the end "Exercise creates a hostile environment for cancer cells"

Must exercise more.
