In reading this you should realise that I am someone who typically only runs to Marks and Spencer and back, so to run a 5k was tantamount to running a marathon! Despite this, I did do my first Race for Life event of which there are 200 or more a year making it one of the top charities in the UK.
Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer and Race for Life which started in 1994, encourages women of all ages and fitness levels to come together for events like the one in Tatton Park.
To date they have raised in the region of £327 million for Cancer Research UK and my sponsorship total of £500 will help raise this higher still. So I would like to thank all those friends and family as well as Duncan Gibbins Solicitors, a specialist personal injury firm, for their generous donations.
If you make the decision to run a marathon or an equivalent such as my 5k for charity then you might be wondering why people do it and what do you get in return on race day. Well, on reaching the finish line, you’ll have a moment to savour for completing your run and an enormous buzz from the atmosphere that the thousands of contributors help create.
I have already submitted my registration for next year’s event thus becoming one of the 53% who have run a Race for Life event before. This time I will probably attempt the 10k. If you fancy a coming together moment at one of these inspiring events to walk, jog or run the 10k to help beat cancer then join me and hopefully other members of Duncan Gibbins Solicitors on the next event.
