On Sunday I will be completing the race for life in Nottingham with Miss N my eldest daughter who is 10. You will be able to spot us, as we will wearing Brioche Pasquier T-Shirts, as they have very kindly sponsored us £250 to run the event with a small (but very gorgeous) team of bloggers.
I don’t usually use my blog, to talk about very personal things, but I think this is so important, that I am going to do so on this occasion.
Miss N and I are running the race in memory of my husbands (Tall Dad) father Paul, and Tall Dads twin brother John, who both lost their lives from the evil disease that is cancer. We will also be running it for his eldest brother, a survivor, who is currently in hospital recovering from having a cancerous brain tumour removed from his brain.
3 men. One family. Lets Beat Cancer!
Cancer is a horrible disease, and it shows no signs of stopping, with it claw like grip on the world. If I can help in any way by raising funds, then I will try my damndest to do so.
Can you help us?
Our blogging team has a target of £500. Can you help us reach it? You can donate to our team fundraising page here.
For its first ever UK fundraising campaign to support Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, Brioche Pasquier has launched the first of two on-pack promotions to reach its fundraising goal of £15,000.
The ‘Run with Mum’ promotion, now available on the Pitch range, is to encourage you to run with your children by covering a single child’s £10 entry fee for 1,000 pairs of little legs.
The second promotion, ‘Raise Some Dough’, available throughout June and July across all products, gives you the opportunity to win donations of up to £100 to send to friends or family taking part in a Race for Life event through their JustGiving page – or alternatively you can simply donate to the Brioche Pasquier Race for Life team.
Also keep an eye out for Brioche Pasquier products at the Race for Life events, as every runner will be offered a tasty ‘PITCH’ filled brioche.
