Today I took part in Cancer Research UK's 5km Race for Life at Glasgow Green. The day was emotional, fun and very rewarding, the weather was just perfect, the sun was behind the clouds but the rain stayed away & it was warm but not too warm, it was just perfect.
I walked the course with 5 other members of my family and between the 6 of us we raised over £1000. I am really proud of us all.
I raced in memory of my Grandad who passed away from Lung Cancer on the 9th March 2010, I believe he watched over me while going round the course, I hope I made him proud.
On the way around I was in tears many times from reading what other runners had written on thier back signs, from the little girl about 7 who was racing in memory of her daddy, the 2 runners who were racing for a gorgeous little boy about 18months that passed away from cancer, the brave woman who got out of her wheelchair to walk over the finish line and one runner wearing a bandana that had on her sign she was running for herself.
I was just 1 of 16,000 runners, I can't wait to do it again next year.
Together we will be cancer.
