Mom's 10K for Cancer

It was a beautiful autumn Sunday. Mom and a bunch of her mates (that's what we call them) ran in a 10K race at the Ickworth House. It was a charity event to raise money for cancer research. Here are four of the girls after the race. Vivian was able to dedicate her race to someone and she ran for her cousin Sherry that has been an inspiration to us all as she has shared her journey through her treatments with us all. She is a true champion.


The house and the grounds are excellent. It is only about 10 miles from our village and we have
visited several times. It is a magnificent tour and
the family still lives in part of the manor. I can link back to our past visit and you can get a feel for the site. Here is a site of the private chapel that is on the back side of the estate. It will give you a feel for the running course and also some of the elevation that the runners had to navigate.

All in all, we are proud of mom and she hit the
time she was aiming. We can also add that she had some quality time in the hot tub to take the the tiredness away.
