Exciting Happenings!
On Sunday , Christine,
Annabel (Christine's sister) and I went on an
adventure to Finsbury
Park to get 'PRETTY MUDDY!'
Pretty Muddy is in simple
terms, a Race For life event that raises money for Cancer Research.
The event consists of a 5K
run with assault course activities thrown into the mix.
This assault course entails
climbing, crawling, rolling, running, about in MUD!
For Charity Obviously!
& To raise awareness of how much Cancer affects us ALL!
We were all super excited
about this event which took place near Seven Sisters in London.
The plan was originally to
get the train up and back, so we would have been totally covered in MUD on the
way back. Thankfully we didn’t have to prepare for (as many) odd looks on the
way home, as Annie’s husband drove us home!
All 3 of us were running
for special people, I personally (Orla), ran for my Dad.
My dad was diagnosed with
Bowel and Liver Cancer back in 2006.
He was a total WARRIOR! And
beat Cancer in 2008!
We as a family had lots of
ups and downs, the cancer going away, then coming back and
spreading to his Liver. But
luckily all of us had awesome support around us!!
(Christine & her family
obviously big support)
Christine and Annabel are
taking part in Pretty Muddy for a number of family members who haven't been so
lucky, and have passed away through the years due to Cancer. Only last year a
close family member Jo was taken from the family. This illness has touched each
of us in one way or another and highlights just why these types of fundraising events
are so vital.
I was filming the day on a
GoPro, so we have footage of the day & the RUN!
which is all very exciting
indeed!

video of the day in a day or two!
