Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Best of luck, Sophie. Each year my girlfriends and I celebrate Mother's Day by participating in the Race for the Cure in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Tens of thousands each year join in to support this worthy cause. Anyone can participate, but it's truly a sea of pink as all the survivors don their pink shirts and caps.

Thoughts and prayer to Sandra - much cause for optimism these days! Take care...

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

What a lovely sight that must be, Maura. You rock, girl.

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Thanks Sandra and Renée!

Just to let you know, I'm running this for a couple of reasons.

Two Christmas's ago, my father in law was diagnosed with lung cancer. Shortly after, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. She hid it from me during my wedding so I wouldn't worry. Little did I know the things my mum was going through until a few weeks later when she had a mastectomy. Luckily my mum is a survivor and has gotten through it all after it was caught early. Unfortunately for my father in law it was caught too late. He passed away last May.

I'm running this for Mum, Ken and all those people out there affected by this disease.

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Goodness gracious, how awful, my dear Soph. I'm very sad for your father in law but very happy for your dear mother.

I'm sure you'll receive a lot of support for this important good cause.

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Soph, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your father in law to cancer, but pleased to hear that your mum beat it. It must have been a very difficult time for all of you.

Renee, I am sorry too that cancer has affected your family so much. :(

Maura, that sounds wonderful! I'm hoping for something similar in June on the Ribbon Walk. I believe there are usually a lot of pink bras about, even on the men!

I have great admiration for everyone who participates in or contributes to fund raising, as every little helps towards finding cures, developing new treatments, and caring for patients and families of those affected by these life-changing illnesses.

Thank you also for the good wishes, ladies! I am determined to beat it!

I'm sure you will, I bet the entire JA fandom is sending you good vibes from all over the world.

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Good luck with the race, Soph! You're participating in a good thing.

And Sandra, you've got mail.

126 views and only two sponsors? Come on, ladies and gents, it's for a good cause, and Sophie's stories give us so much pleasure! To give the right example I'll add another fiver.

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie

Ok, I took it to the Goal!

Several of my family members and friends are cancer survivors and sadly, a few are victims. Its a terrible disease. Many thanks Soph for taking part in this run.

Sandra P. ~ I send you heartfelt compassion. My grandmother, Aunt and sister are breast cancer survivors. I'm cheering for you.

Cheers,

I did it!

Just gotten home from running - 44 minutes which for me is excellent. Feel as if I could do it all again.

Thanks everyone who sponsored me. It's very much appreciated and the money is going to an excellent cause.

Just gonna have to shave 15 minutes off my time next year.

Thanks again!

Re: Race for Life: important message from Mrs Darcy's author Sophie
