A few months ago, I never imagined I'd be signing up for a 5 km run. Running is something I've only recently started, and every step has been a challenge—but also a reminder of why I'm doing this.

I'm taking part in the Women's 5 km to help raise money for cancer research and support. Like so many people, cancer has touched the lives of people I love, and this is my way of giving something back. Every kilometre I run is for those who have fought, those who are still fighting, and those we carry in our hearts every day.

I may not be the fastest runner, but I'm determined to cross that finish line knowing I've made a difference. This journey isn't just about learning to run—it's about hope, strength, and standing alongside those affected by cancer.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me. Every donation, kind word, and cheer means more than you know. Together, we can help make a difference.
