Teresa Atkin

My sister, my sister in law, my niece who is 10 and myself took part in race for life today at fontwell. We were taking part in aid of my mum who died 3 years ago, my mum-in-law who managed to beat breast cancer and my cousin who had her operation on Friday to remove a tumour from her breast and now faces many months of chemotherapy. This is the 3rd year I have done it now and every year there is a great sense of achievement and fantastic atmosphere.
