As many of you know I (Catherine) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in February 2021.  Fortunately with the help of a quick diagnosis, a lengthy cycle of treatment and a successful road to recovery all is now well and I'm feeling fitter than ever.  Although at the time we had the support of the local Breast Centre at Northampton General Hospital, it was only after I had finished treatment that I found the amazing work of the local charity "Breast Friends Northamptonshire".  This charity is an excellent support group for those affected by the disease and they help to promote awareness of breast cancer.

In order to try and raise money for this wonderful charity, both my husband (Colin) and I will be running the Northampton Half Marathon in September 2023.  Although we have both been keen runners in the distant past, in recent years - not so much!  Therefore we have both committed to getting our trainers on to get fit again, raise awareness and to promote and raise money for this charity.  Unfortunately we have other friends who are going/have gone through similar to what we as a family went through too so this fundraising is also with them in our minds. If you can spare any amount of money through a donation then we and the charity would be immensely grateful.
