I have today finally lost the lbs I put back on over Xmas.So on with the master plan.
I did the Hydro Active Challenge in Hyde Park 2 years ago for Ovacome as they were invaluable with info when my Mum was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer.It hurt my knees training for it and the day itself finished me off so didn't do it last year but went up to support the others doing it again.I've since found I have no cartilage left in knees so won't be doing it again either.Quite a relief to have an excuse...lol.
The thing that amazed me was how many people have been touched by huge traumas in their lives and go on to raise money for the charities that helped them.I found it very humbling. Without the support from organisations like marie curie and cancer support etc an amazing amount of people would be so much worse off ,so well done you.
