Race for life and other things

I can't believe that this time last year when I did my third race for life I thought I was doing it for other people, little did I know that I was about to venture on a trip of hormone treatment, scans and chemotherapy.  I have always found reading back signs emotional, but nothing could have prepared me for how difficult it was going to be reading backsigns as a fighter.  I found my own name on six backsigns including my own.  We had lots of laughs but we also had a few tears.  How many more race for life events will I be healthy enough to take part in?  Will we be able to take part next year to celebrate remission (as unfortunately the chance of an all clear, the doctors have said, is not mine).  I have raised £275 for cancer research from race for life if anyone would still like to add to my total here is the link.  http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/angelagerrard153  Every little helps, and I really do want to be part of the cure.  I really want to defy the doctors what they have told me.

Managed to complete the race for life in just under an hour, but to be fair it was probably at least 7 minutes before we passed the start line.  Oh well just three more days of school with the children then an inset.  Then a weekend in pompey with my gorgeous cousin, and have now found out my equally gorgeous cousin is coming over from Australia in August, am getting very excited, could 2012 be my year after all, just controlling this stupid disease and most of my dreams might be able to come true? xx
