Ben put this together after his 10K run in September and sent an e-mail out to all the names and addresses he could find but I have been unable to post it until now. Huge and many apologies from me.
After the Run
On Sunday 7th September I completed the Cadiff 10K run in 51:05 minutes. It was the first time I have run a race like this.
It took me ages to decide if I was good enough to do the race but once I had been persuaded there was no stopping me.
As my mum has told you, in the summer we discovered that my gorgeous cousin has breast cancer, so to spur me on I decided to try to raise £100.00 to go to Cancer Research UK to help fund the research needed to find a cure for cancer.
I want to use my mum’s blog today to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who left me a comment of encouragement, to those who are thinking about my cousin and all the other people that we know who have this horrible disease.
Thank you to all of you generous people who left a donation on my Just Giving page.
Of course my mum knew you would all support us but I had no idea about the love and friendship out there in her blogland. From the bottom of my running shoes, thank you, you helped me to keep on running and to raise £364.00 for Cancer research UK.
Cheers, Ben
How Wonderful! My dear brother is about to begin treatment for prostate cancer. My mother died from cancer at age 66. Dear God, please help us eradicate this disease. AMEN!!!!!!!!
Well done, Ben!!
I received this lovely email from Ben, but I’ve missed “seeing” you. Hope everything is OK.
