Just recently, I have been very lucky to have been involved with the 5km "Race for life" held at Ardingly. Fran, Sarah and myself did the warm-up on stage in front of 2000 wonderful people and as ever it was a fabulously inspiring experience to feel such warmth and cameradery on that hot Sunday. This is the second year we have been asked to do this and this year I ran it with my 2 daughter's. There were all ages, shapes and sizes either walking or running. Lots of people were dressed in all sorts of costumes. We just have to collect our sponsor money now!

I have been asked to do the warm up for the St. Peter and James's Hospice sleep walk on Saturday. It starts at the Olympos Leisure Centre, Haywards Heath at midnight and when I spoke to Karen, who is the events lady from the hospice, she said that more than 700 women had signed up to do the walk so far. What a wonderful evening that will be. Fran and Sarah are also with me for the warm-up. It is Sarah's birthday the following day so we may well have a glass of champagne to celebrate!
