Racing for Life 2011

This morning I took part in my first 'Race for Life' event. The Race for Life is a 5k women-only walk, jog or run, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

I had an the idea back in early-Spring to try to organise a team of women to take part from the architectural practice I work at. I ended up with a team of about 15 women, from both our Surrey and Manchester offices, taking part in races in Kempton Park, Surrey and Heaton Park, Manchester.

My original goal was that the team would be able to raise £1000, although I was secretly hoping we would make it to £1500. As of a few minutes ago, our team total stands at £1,820 and the donations are continuing to roll in.

I am overwhelmed.

And not-so-secretly hoping we will smash £2000.

If you would like to donate to our team's fund raising for Cancer Research UK, you can do so at the following link: http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/PRPLadiesRaceforLife2011

Thank you.
