"Two years ago my mum did the race for life and I wanted to do it as last year my auntie died of luekima and I wanted to make sure no other family had to go through the tough time mine went through.
I raised money by a raffle at school and raised £29, which isn't much but I got some from other people too.
I was going to do the race for life with my mum and we started together but she was going to slow so I went ahead it took me about 30mins and I walked a bit.
I did't do any training so I was smiling, kinda, as I went through the line but after I had to wait ages for my mum (haha) I want to do it next year and I am going to train so I can do it faster (hopefully) I hope other people contribute to cancer research I have known three people at least who have had cancer and only 1 has survived - more needs to be done!!!!"
