What does £1000 mean to you?

For some of you reading this blog £1000 means a months wages, for some its a holiday, petrol for a few months,  I am sure you can think of loads of things you could think of spending £1000 on.
For me right now £1000 means the world, it means that there are a lot of people out there who taken time to take a look at our story and think I am worthy of sponsoring.

Running 5K is not a difficult thing to do, it takes a few months training and a lot of determination but on the whole is no big deal.  The messages of support have been phenomenal (get me spelling a big word!!) if im feeling down or lacking in motivation I sit and read them all, every single message and I smile because I have such lovely friends, so many people behind me, behind us, who have been there through every step of the journey.  Some people I have known for years, some people I have met along the way, some with their own stories to tell, both happy and sad, yet each of those people have given their support which in my book makes them the inspirational ones.

Friendship is a very special and amazing thing and sometimes it takes something bad to make you realise there is so much good in the world.  So thank you to each and every one of you amazing people who have sponsored me and taken the time to leave a lovely message of support.

It has taken me 2 months to reach £1000 sponsorship so lets run this race and kick cancer up the arse!!!

Its been a while!

Well its been a while since I have blogged so I thought I had better get everything down before I forget anything.

Rich has now finished his treatment for the time being and we have had scan dates through.  He has a CT scan on the 23rd and a PET scan on the 3rd March.  Hopefully they will show that the chemo has worked and the cancer has gone.

I am back training for Race for Life this week and its really going well.  I did a non stop run of 20 mins which is bloody amazing considering I couldn't do 1 min when i started!  I have been twice this week and I am feeling GREAT!

I have also decided to throw a "tea party" in aid of the Lymphoma Association on the 10th April.  I am so excited about this.  I have sat awake for hours at night planning and writing letters to people.  I really want to make this as big as possible to raise awareness for Lymphoma.  I have posters and invitations and so many people who want to help its just amazing.   I really hope I can pull this off!

I am feeling great at the moment, so focused and on top of things.  I am sure the happy pills are doing their job so lets hope they keep doing it!
