im fighting this disease and racing to raise money for a cure and in memory of the lovely sue overy  xxxx Michelle

My loving husband passed away on 3rd may 2012 from renal cancer at the age of 52 he was  diagnosed in december 2011 his name is alan jones. Heather

I'm a 13 years old girl and I'm from North Wales. Me and my 9 year old sister Elin Lane ran the Race for Life today in loving memory of my amazing Mum, who sadly passed away 7 weeks ago. Even though no treatment helped her during her long 7 years of fighting Brain Tumor, me and my sister wanted to raise money to help find a cure so people don't have to go through the pain we've been going through as a family-especially the pain my Mum went through. She took part in the Race for Life every year, until she was too ill. She would still be raising money for Cancer Research if she was still here, so I know she'd want us to take part and raise money to such a good cause. I hope a cure will be found soon as so many loved people are taken by this horrible illness. Anest

Emma's Angels. I did the Race for Life in my Wheelchair (5k) at the Norfolk Showground on Saturday 19th May 2012 for my friend Emma and my late Nan Sandie. I did it in my wheelchair as I have Cerebral Palsy and find it hard to walk any distant. It was a great day for everyone. Beth

I March for life with an all female marching band. We play our way around the course. I first started to support two friends who lost their dad. Now I race for my own mum who died of cancer, and my dad and I who are both going through treatment for cancer. Our band are a fantastic group of girls and have raised over £25k. Come on everyone, Race for Life, you never know when this disease is going to affect you. My cancer was found from a fluke mozzie bite!! Anita

I'm running for race for life because sadly 2 years ago we lost the most high spirited man in our family. His words to his family members were 'this illness will not beat me' and he fought for three years, making his dreams come true. When Norman sadly died our family were torn to pieces but Norman has tought me to live life whilst u have it. R.i.p uncle norman your still in our hearts and will always be a inspiration to all of us x Taila
