At the moment I am not sure as if CR UK have one organised already we can crash that one but I am aiming for Mar/April/May next year! :O)

Good and when were the dates roughly again. Was it off the trek sahara site??

Kerry.... you are doing brilliant love!! Trek... The CRUK area co-ordinator is off this week but I can assure you WE WILL BE GOING EVEN IF I HAVE TO CO-ORDINATE THE LOT MYSELF!! :O)

Lol you will deserve a long hard rest hun! You do so much. Just wanted to do my part. Have you heard anything back yet about the trek?

I'm passing on this one sweetie as China is my main concern and I believe it's after that and I will be deserving the REST!! :O) Pink xx

Well I`m doing it now with friends and some girls from work!Did it last year when I was pregnant with Kian(only 2months gone) However we did it in combats last year and people were 'come on the army'lol. We had RAF on our tops!!! Looking forward to it, should be good and for a great charity! xxxx

I,,m doing the race in Hereford in July. This will be my third time. Cherry

My wife Sharon is doing it...

I was involve in the first on in British Columbia (the first in Canada I think) about 12 or 13 years ago. We started out as a 24 hour relay, but since then have cut it down to 12 hours. The title then was 'Relay for a Friend', but changed when it went national, now being 'Relay for Life'. We started off with 13 teams of 12, our school having 3 of the teams. That day we raised $68,000. It has grown in leaps and bounds since the first one with last years total for our relay being over $575,000. A lot of fun is had during the day. As dusk approaches we hold a candle light ceremony. Very, very emotional. If anyone has the chance to join a team, they should. Or, start a team of your own. Deb

Hiya Kerry I did it last year with my Mum and future sister in law, and this year I'm doing it again with my Mum and 20 of her work collegues :-) its a really brill day, and quite emotional aswell, as alot of people have badges on them saying who theyre doing the race for life for. I will doing it for Gaynor and my Nan who died of cancer when my Dad was 13 years old, she was one of my main reasons for starting doing my family tree, I only wish she was alive to see all the hard work alot of people have put into it, as through contact with 3rd and 4th cousins I have her branch back to 1475 :-) I'm meeting up with her sister at the weekend, my Great Aunt, who I havent seen for a few years and presenting her with her complete family tree :-) I cant wait to see her face when I show her the copies of certificates etc :-) Karen

Hi Kerry Myself, sister and two girls aged 9 and 10 are doing it for the first time, we are only walking it though lol Love Kirsty x
