1926 - 1992
Even though its been nearly 18 years since my father died I still miss him. There were so many things I wanted him to share and to see. In my 20's I didn't appreciate or have the maturity to understand why he did the things that he did, how hard it can be to bring up children and all the lessons I have learnt over the 14 years of my sons life.
I would have loved him to share the many highs and lows that I have been though over the 18 years - walk me down the aisle on my wedding day, to meet my son (his first grandchild) and laugh at his humour, to tell him how much I appreciated everything he tried to do, and how many of the sayings that he use to tell us as children I now say to my child - "looks like you want to learn the hard way", "I wasn't born yesterday!" and many others. I would like to show my father that I am following my creative dreams and most of all that I loved him.
To all those fathers out there full of wisdom, knowledge and understanding - we want thank you for your sensitivity, your strength, your laughter and love.

Me and my sister Yvette, before we start out, getting ourselves in the right frame of mind prior to the event. It was a very hot day, the sun was out and there were loads of people all with the same aim to finish the race in memory of their loved ones and friends.
There was a great atmosphere as every one got into position, encouraged by other people of all ages, and sizes, the music played and our feet got into position. I really enjoyed the event and it was another example for me to step out of my comfort zone.We were given a medal on completion for our achievements and I have to once again thank all those who sponsored me for the event
