Get Lost Cancer! Race For Life 5k 2015!

Throughout my adult life I have seen the effects of cancer and how it effects the people & there families.

When I was 18 I lost both my Nanna & Granda to cancer and it is such a terrible thing to watch your loved ones go through.

Last year my auntie was diagnosed with cancer but I am pleased to say that after receiving treatment she is now all clear and on the mend.

Unfortunately we will all be affected by cancer, we know loved ones we have lost and also people close to us who are currently effected.

If you have read my previous blog posts then you will be aware that lately I have struggled with simple things like walking! For the past 5 weeks I have been trying to turn my lifestyle around and adopt some healthy eating habits as well as regular exercise and I am loving it! Yes I have good and bad days but the main thing is that I am improving day by day.

Last year I took part in Race for Life and it was a struggle at times, If I never had two amazing friends by my side I honestly don't think I would have made it!

The day of the race is very emotional, so many people have there own stories and their own personal reasons for taking part. I was one of the very last group of people around the course and once I got to the end I cried! I made it! If I can do it then absolutely anybody can!

So this year I aim to do better than last year but just taking part is good enough for me. I have just over 8 weeks before the event so I am hoping to continue my exercise and healthy eating so I will be prepared for the day.

I currently use my Fitbit Charge to track my steps, distance, calories and sleep so if you are a fitbit user feel free to add me as a friend, Tracy Hewison!
