Liz & I did it "Race for Life"

Hi Everyone We did it!!! Liz and I and two of our sisters completed the "Race for Life" today, and the weather was glorious. Five of us set off this morning (one being an honary sister who we have claimed as our own) and we couldn't have wished for a beetter day. The atmosphere was electric and we had lots of fun taking part in the warm up. The commentator invented a Hug a scientist day" where we had to go round and hug all the scientiests dressed in blue which got the crowd in a good mood!!! The tags on everyones back told their own story, thank goodness Liz brought her tissues, I thought I had got away with the crying when I had the sunglassess on, but anyone of you who know my sister know she doesn't miss much, so didn't even get to have a cry in private!!!!! I have lived near Stormont Castle most of my life, but never got that close to it before, the walk took in the mile road (uphill!!!) that leads to the main building and it is a beautiful site. We did complete it, but it was difficut to walk at a good pace with som many people in our path, Lis is the one with cancer and she would have put most of the walkers to shame, barging past everyone trying to break her time limit to get an extra £10 sponsorship money if she walked it in less that 50 minutes !!! 5000 turned out and everyone was dressed beautifully, a sea of pink . I t was nice to see so many men out to support and cheer us on . My only regret is that I did not run it, I felt a tinge of envy when I saw the running group head to the start, but hey that is my goal for next year !!! All in all a fantastic day. M People sing a song called "What have you done today to make you feel proud" Well I have never been prouder that I was today to do this today to help raise money for such a good cause, also for people I love and admire that are battling with cancer every day. Roll On next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
