tribute

Last week we had some sad news. Our very brave friend Ally’s battle with cancer ended on 15th January. She was such a strong but at the same time, fun and kind woman. She trained in childcare and we were her first family; my brother her first baby to look after. I met her again when I moved back to the area 6 years ago and have been in awe of her fantastic fundraising efforts. She truly was a wonderful person, and I’ll always remember her fondly. Her husband, parents, brother, sister-in-law and new nephew, and all her friends are in my thoughts. I’ll wear pink (her stipulation) with pride at her funeral on Friday.

As a tribute to her, I’m running the Muddy Boots 10k on 9th February. Whilst the entry fee goes to St Wilfrids School , I am asking for sponsorship for Cancer Research. Please, if you can, sponsor me on Just Giving. I’d be so grateful for any money that can be raised to help bring a cure for this devastating disease nearer to fruition.
