Race for life

Helen ran 5 kilometres in about 35 minutes on Sunday, along with 7,000 other women in Blackheath. These were all people who knew a cancer sufferer and had decided to do something about it by raising money for Cancer Research UK. For someone like me, it was amazing to see that so many people cared; and to see so many people achieve their target was excellent. Helen could barely jog for a minute when she started eight weeks ago, but with some support from her friend Clare who came up from Brighton to run with her, they more than deserved their medals.
