Sponsor my Mum on her Run For Julia!

My mum is running a fund raising "Race for Life" for breast cancer research in May in the UK. Would you like to sponsor her? I've posted the link to her sponsorship site below her request for support. You can click on the link to see how close she is to reaching her goal as well as messages of support from friends and family.
Go Mum Go!!

Hi Everyone,

Every year for the past 5 years, I’ve taken part in the “Race for Life”, a Tesco sponsored fund raising run, to raise money for Breast Cancer research. It became particularly important to me when my sister Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. As many of you know, Julia lost her fight with this awful disease just a few weeks ago, but left behind her a legacy of courage and determination that many of us will find inspiring for years to come.

So this year, my run has even more meaning than ever. Julia was constantly looking for ways to support other breast cancer sufferers and raise funds to help them. I’d like to carry on that effort with vigour and am aiming to raise £1000.

If you’d be willing and able to sponsor my run, any donation, no matter how small will be gratefully received.

This is my Run For Julia. I’ll be running May 19th (the Richmond race, since I’ll be away on business at the time of the Battersea race) and you can read more about it on

Thanks in advance for any support you are able to give. :)
