Reading Half Marathon

This weekend is the Reading Half Marathon.  I spent a lot of my childhood supporting both my Mum and Dad as they ran around the course; picking daffodils and eating ice-creams as we looked out for them.  This year I will be following some very special friends as they complete the course.

I have mentioned them before but I am going to remind you again!  One of my oldest family friends, Lois, is running to raise money for the Beating Bowel Cancer, which is a charity extremely close to my heart.  They provided me with a little of support during my illness and chemotherapy; their nurses are always on the end of the phone to answer any questions that I might have.  Lois has done extremely well in her fundraising, but every little bit helps! Please visit her fundraising page here .

Alexa's Auntie Natalie and Uncle Stuart are also running to raise money for Cancer Research and Arthritis Research.  These are both causes close to both mine and their hearts.  They again are doing really well in their fundraising, you can visit their fundraising page here .

So thank you in advance for your support for my good friends.  I am so very proud of both the fundraising that they have done and also for all the training that they have done.  I feel very touched that they have chosen charities based on what I am going through; it means the world to me.  I cannot wait to look out for them on Sunday and to give them a good old cheer!
