Race for Life 2014 - Pretty Muddy Maidstone

Ever since our friend Paula got her diagnosis of Ovarian cancer just before Christmas, 'the Gang' have done various fund-raising activities:

Dryathalon in January
Race for Life 10k in February
'Gang' Great British Bake-Off in March
MacMillian Big Night in May
'Gang' Come Dine with me's in January/March/May (these have been fun!!)

and yesterday, the lady 'gang' members took part in the Pretty Muddy Race for Life in Maidstone.

Such a lovely atmosphere, over 3,000 ladies, young, old, fighting fit and not so!, survivors and mourners...all there to Kick Cancer... reading some of the messages on the running numbers stickers was truly heartbreaking and inspiring.

Our set off time was 1.00pm - all of us were sporting some kind of injury and luckily this is a 'fun run' event - not timed, not competitive, just a good excuse for fundraising while getting down and dirty!!! 

I have to say, was the best (most enjoyable) fund-raising thing we've done all year and I most definitely will be more than happy to do it all again!!

the best fun you can have on a random Saturday morning!
