I have to admit I am oblivious to a lot of things, not because I don’t care, but simply because life is such a rush. Working with James Caan means there is always a lot to do at Fresh Egg, and then family life fills any time that is left. To say that I am oblivious to things is an understatement!

I have been sitting on a sponsorship form for my daughter for the last few weeks for Cancer Research ‘Race for Life’ following taking it to work to gain the support of a few of my colleagues. (Thanks to all that sponsored MM)

Hands up, I had no idea what a big event ‘Race for Life’ was. The last time I did a sponsored walk, I was 15 and I could still walk! (Long are the days since). It was only as I was driving my daughter and my partner to Worthing Rugby Club for the event that I saw for myself the size of the event and what it meant/means to the many people that took part.

I have to say it was quite touching to see the many participants with the names of cancer victims on their backs who they were running/walking for, or in the memory of, unfortunately there were way too many.

Too many people are affected by this terrible disesase and I hope that every single penny that was raised today will do some good in the constant battle to find the cure that will save lives.

Congratulations go to my two for completing the race, I hope your efforts go on to help the many people who will encounter this terrible disease whether it be personally or through association at some stage in their lives.
