    The weather was lovely, not too warm, and there was plenty of shade along the course.

    I managed to end up right at the back of the field, so I passed the start line about 3 minutes after the start of the race. I completed the 5K in 43 minutes, which I was really pleased about as it took ages to get past the walkers and get onto some clear road to jog.

    Loads of people were lining the route to encourage us, which was lovely. Wonderful to be with 2000 other ladies all raising money to fight cancer.

    I will upload some pictures later, showing my backsign - I chose to run for Ian, Dansk on JWD. As you know, Ian is currently in Christies undergoing stem cell treatment. If you want to sponsor me and help raise funds for research into treatments like this, please go to my fundraising page here:

    So far I have £35 sponsorship from friends and family, and three JWD posters have sponsored me. Thanks so much for all your support! Can you help me raise some more?

    Well done Fe203 that is something you wouldn't do if you were a JW since they discourage such non selfish acts for the sake of our fellow man, they want everything for themselves.

    Nice job! As someone who has lost a family member to cancer I say thank you.

    This is perfect Fe203 and CONGRATULATIONS! I will admit that I have steered clear of some posts on JWD. Only because I am overly sensitive and I have a tendency to get bogged down emotionally. But this is a happy opportunity for me to show my support for Dansk.

    Great work!
