I'm running the Adidas Women's challenge!

Hi!

Thanks for visiting my page. I am running the Adidas Women's challenge to raise awareness of breast cancer, and raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. My goal is to run the 5K in 30 minutes -quite a challenge for someone who, like me, is useless at running!

My inspiration came from my amazing friend Hester, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27. I met her about a year after she had been diagnosed, and when she told me what had happened to her, I could not believe that such a happy and fun young woman, always with a smile on her face, could have been through such a difficult time.

After 4 cycles of chemotherapy and 3 years on medications, Hester finally won her fight, and beat the 50% chance of not being able to have children, and has now a beautiful, healthy 14 months old girl.

Nearly 46,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. 
1 in 9 women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime.
Around 1,000 women die of breast cancer every month in the UK and around 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.
I could carry on with the statistics, but the most important is this one: more women than ever in the UK are surviving breast cancer thanks to better awareness, better screening and better treatments.
Please help Breakthrough Breast Cancer keep up the good work by sponsoring me for this run. No matter how small the donation, all money will go straight to them.

Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.

Thank you 

Ily
