... but it's the only way I could find to post the photo! this photo is my granddaughter Erin taken just after she finished the local Race For Life* on Sunday : she's only 21 months old so to finish 5 km (3 miles) in the pouring rain is quite an achievement! The winner did it in 17 minutes and Erin took an hour and ten minutes, but hey, her legs are shorter then theirs! I don't know how much money she raised individually for Cancer Research, it hasn't all been collected in yet, but she ran (toddled!) with her Mummy, my daughter Catherine, and the rest of the female staff from the local vets' and they were being sponsored as a team, but I know it was well in the hundreds of pounds when last checked. She is SOOOOOOO proud of her medal!

*For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Race For Life is an annual nationwide event which takes place in the UK for the purpose of raising funds for the fight against cancer. It's the UK's largest women-only event and runners (or walkers - or toddlers! - ) usually wear pink and all the money raised by all the runners goes to Cancer Research UK. Many of the women and girls who take part do so in memory of a loved one who has lost the fight against cancer in any of its forms, and wear their names on the back of their tee-shirts.
