Race For Life 2015!

 

 

Hey beauts.

 

Those of you whom follow me on twitter will have seen me talking about my sister running the 5k race for life this year. Sophie is two years younger than me and decided to do this of her own back. The reason I am not running along side her is because she deserves this moment to shine. It was her idea and I don't want to jump on this acting like I had this lovely, thoughtful idea too. I wanted her to do something alone that everybody would remember.

 

 

Soph has been training hard for over a month, she's been running a mile every night and has pushed herself to make sure she does her best. Today Sophie ran for my nan, and my aunty Cath who unfortunately passed away last week:(.  Last night Sophie raised over £300 online and she has £50 worth of cash sponsors, so she's nearing more towards the £400 mark. I teared up when I saw her raise so much money. Cancer affects so many life's and my sister has spent hours baking cakes for cake sales and constantly sharing her link to help try and put as much money together to help those with cancer, and to find a cure.

 

I watched my sister run with my mum today(she needed an adult so my mum got roped in) and her best friend, she didn't stop once and she's not usually a runner... I saw her cross the finish line and you know when you are happy and sad and every other emotion under the sun? that was me. I cried more than once too.

 

Sophie did such a wonderful thing today and I'll be proud of her for this every day all day. I wanted to dedicate this post to my aunty Cath who wasn't able to see Sophie cross the finish line, even in pictures, because we will always love her and my sister did this today to make her proud.  Thank you to shoes who have took time to share my sisters link and help her raise so much money.

My sister completed the run in 36minutes. Well done to everyone who ran today.

 

 

I'm proud of you Soph.
