A happy post, tinged inevitably with sadness. Flora has been wanting to run the Race for Life for ages, so this year she trained and entered with her friends Izzy and Karen. Whilst Izzy and Karen remembered their grandma's, Flora ran for our friend Zoe, who sadly died from a brain tumour leaving her husband, a year old baby and an elder daughter who was a week shy of her 3rd birthday. We also remembered Lindsey, another mother, who's two sons were still at school when she died from breast cancer.
But the race was not a morbid affair: women from all over Norfolk dressed up in their pink finery. There was dancing and music and thousands of supportive well wishers. And this team of three far exceeded their target.
If anyone would like to donate to this worthwhile cause which has affected someone connected to all of us, the website is here.
Well done!
