Not often I start a thread but today is an exceptional one. Today myself, two friends and 2,500 other women from my town and surrounding areas ran, jogged and walked for Cancer Research UK. The place was a sea of pink, pink tee-shirts, pink ballet skirts, pink hair even and me and the girls wore gold glittery cowboy hats! Sisters were certainly doing it for themselves and everyone who has been touched by cancer. What a morning, and this afternoon another huge band of women and girls will race again. We only did 5K but it was a wonderful experience, especially reading the messages pinned to each woman's back, one lady in front of me was doing it for her Dad who only died two weeks ago, and a little girl had a sign that said "For my grandad, who I never met, but I know he is looking down on me". And I did it for my Dad, who died of prostate cancer many years ago, but who still has the capacity to make me laugh every day that I think about him. Bless them, every one!
