CONGRATULATIONS
- THEY MADE IT!
IT’S THE TAKING PART THAT
COUNTS
Well
done and many congratulations go to ABD team for taking part and completing
Race for life which took place on Sunday the 2nd of June 2013 at Lydiard Park,
Swindon. The race was entered by thousands
of women in order to help raise money to beat cancer as part of a fundraising
event...
“I have entered Race for Life on many occasions but this
was my first as Team Leader. Team ABD did me proud and I am delighted
that we have raised so much for such a good cause. The race was very
emotional for everyone but for me particularly as my Father is battling with
lung cancer. After hurting my knee, I didn't think I would be able to
walk round let alone run, but I jogged all the way and was delighted with my
finishing time of 32 minutes .“
Lisa Sidwell
ABD
team consisted of Lisa Sidwell (Team Leader), Catherine Cole, Carole Sanders,
Sally Mason, Cindy Ervine, Rachel Fereday, Annette Janman, Lisa Coates, Sharon
Perkins, Frances Nash and her daughter Alice...
“I shocked myself and managed to jog the whole way in 42
minutes!!! Maybe I am not as unfit as I thought I was. I have managed to raise
nearly £300.00. It was a super day with
a fantastic atmosphere and great support. It very much gives you a great sense
of self-satisfaction to do something so worthwhile.”
Lisa Coates
“This was my first race for life and I really enjoyed the
day. It was very inclusive of all
abilities and the support from spectators was fantastic, they really spurred
the runners on. I was very happy to just finish as it was actually the first
time that I had run as far as 5k! However I am very proud of my 9 year old
daughter. It was also her first time
that she had run as far as 5k too.”
Frances Nash
The
day was an emotional one for all. Onlookers
cheered and waved to a sea of female runners and walkers wearing pink t-shirts.
Everyone was there for a reason of their
own. All had great determination. All
were supporting a very good cause.
“After my mam died of breast cancer in January 2008, I
decided to try to get fitter so started jogging. This was something which I had
never even thought to do before then. So that year I kicked off with my first
5k race for life. Every race I have been
in the atmosphere has been absolutely fantastic and I have thoroughly enjoyed
my jogging.“

The
weather was great not to mention ABD finishing times. Catherine Cole who is an experienced runner
and has run Race for Life on a number of occasions was delighted to finish
within the top 30 runners in just over 26 minutes shortly followed by Rachel
Fereday. Cindy Ervine and Alice were not
far behind!
Well
done and many congratulations to ABD Team.
