🩷As you know, our lovely Manager Laura has been off this year receiving life saving treatment for breast cancer. She and I will be taking part in the Leeds Race for Life tomorrow to raise some money for Cancer Research Uk. Every small donation helps 🙂

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
