What you said
“I just wanted to let you know what a brilliant day it was and very good fun. It was great to do something other than chemo that made me feel exhausted and aching all over. I can’t believe that I was pipped at the post by my niece by 2 seconds… where’s the solidarity in that! My 2 children finished joint 4th in the fun run so a great finish to the day. Thanks again for a fantastic uplifting and inspiring day” Julie T
