Ambitions, a new hobby and a plea for sponsorship!

I've found a great stress-buster for all the goings on in our 3rd year-dissertation-fuelled lives here in Lincoln, and of course all you lot dotted around the country. Running. I can't get very far but i love it. In fact, due to my new hobbie (despite only having gone once so far but loved it at the gym) I've decided to use it to raise some dosh all in aid of Cancer Research!

As you know, Cancer affects all of us at some point i our lives, whether it be family, friends, popstar idols (We love you Kylie) or even ourselves. Scary thought, but by supporting charities that help the awareness and research of cancer such as sponsoring lovely people like me, we can all go to bed safe and sound knowing we've helped that little bit towards other peoples lives who unfortunately are or will be suffering from this terrible illness.

Therefore! I make my plea to you all wonderful, generous and heartfelt people to sponsor myself and Sarah run this year's 5 KM Race For Life in aid of Cancer Research. We'll be running 5KM, (which will be a challenge for us, we wouldnt see the point in it if it was easy!) in Brighton on the 1st July. We have had some fantastic donations, all £5 or £10 and even £50 (!) so far, so please give us your support and sponsor us what you can! It really is for a fantastic cause, not to mention the thought of two girls sweating it out by running 5KM with the best sports bras money can buy, because u know we'll need them!

If you want any more information or to join in yourself go to www.raceforlife.org .

If you would like to sponsor us which we will adore you for, text one of us or leave a comment on here with your email address and we'll get your address off of you and put you down on the sponsor forms. We are working as a team so whatever we both raise will go in as one, so if you want to donate then remember that both of us will be doing the race!! Whoever sponsors us the largest amount of money will get a big sloppy kiss on the cheek from both of us and maybe a picture too, depends on how much u love us ha ha ha! (hope thats ok sarah!)

So this is my new challenge and ambition, to do a run for charity...i'd love to run the London Marathon so this could be the first stepping stone. Does anyone have an ambition they want to achieve? Let me know. I've got loads I want to do before I have to get a zimmerframe.

In other news, we bought Sam a canary for his birthday and he is adorable! His name is Iwan and he sings and everything, he particularly likes Girls Aloud, Hip Hop and Stevie Nicks. A picture of him will be posted soon! Even though he is Sam's, we all can't help but feel emotionally attatched to him, maybe apart from Harry who warned Sam that he better not wake him first thing in the morning. He's great.

So remember, please sponsor us!! xxxxxx
