I've just raced for life with 2 of my daughters and a grandaughter in memory of my mum who developed bowel cancer but with treatment survived another 11 years, finally succumbing when it spread through her body in 1994. Also for me, I had part of my lung removed in December so really pleased to have walked 5k in 45 mins. Hopefully we will eventually find a preventative or cure for this dreadful disease.
Poppy and Becky

Lily
Sylvia and Helen Bell
I ran this year in the race for life 10km for the first time for my aunt joyce who has breast cancer and my cousin Graham who sadly passed away 3 years ago in october. What a well worthy cause this is for, and all the ladies enjoyed the day. Well done to all the ladies who took part. It was a very emotional day and a big thank you to heart fm and the nivea boys who did a fantastic job in keeping our spirits up. Also a big thank you to the marshalls around the course who clapped and cheered us all on when the going got tough. Thanks also to Helen Bell who ran the race with me.
Jessica
Well done Jessica, First time you have done it bout i know it won't be the last, and i will be with running with you next year. I found it a really emotional experience just being there looking at all the names on the girls backs - who they were running in memory of.
Julie Green
I walked the race for life with my 4 yr old daughter and 10 friends, 5 of which were 4 or younger. We did it because in 2006 my uncle lost his battle to cancer, and has left a big gap in our family. I also lost my nan to breast cancer that spread through her whole body in 1994 and my Grandad to cancer in 1976, he was taken from me when i was 2, so I never got a chance to really know him. We will definately do it next year it was great fun and made you feel you were doing something to beat the big C.

Want to say well done to Elle who was doing Race For Life for her grandad and uncle both have passed away in the last 6 months, her auntie Sharon and family, Kirsty, Amy, thinking of Nickie who is yet to do her race. This was my first year doing Race For Life and it is overwhelming in every sense of the word, I did it on my own part jogged, part walked due to a heart condition in memory of my gran Iris who overcame breast cancer and for my brother in law Jamie who is gradually losing his battle with brain cancer and to all those affected by cancer, well done to all who took part, and thanks to my family and friends for your support and sponsorship I couldn't have done it without you all xx

Took part in the 10k race this year with my sister Lyn Burton and friend Charlotte Delph, well done girls for a great race. I was running once again in memory of Rachel Louise Cowap who sadly passed away a few days after her 15 birthday on 20th November 2003. It was such an amazing day, the atmosphere was brilliant, loved the new 10k course. Can't wait to do it again next year.

Wendy Connell
I took part for the 4th time in Race for Life on Saturday afternoon in memory of my mum Jean who sadly lost her fight against mouth cancer on 10th April 2010. I miss her greatly and will never forget the suffering she went through. She was a very brave lady who sadly never really recovered from the radiotherapy treatment. I am grateful for all the medical help and support mum received and will always cherish the many happy memories we have of mum, long before this disease claimed her.
