    ....perhaps because Lizzie is your girlfriend?

    I was on about the original poster. How low are you to start on a thread about cancer.

    Grow up you sad little man. You must be no older, metally and/or physically than a 12 yea old boy.

    Your a pethetic low-lif waste of space. Get off my back, you leech.

    I Did The Race For Life Last Year I Was Gunna Do It This Year But I Found Out That Only £1 Go To The Charity And Tesco Get The Other £9 As Its 10 To Enter. I Think That Is Really Harsh As People With Cancer Should Come First And Tesco Shouldnt Come First. I Did It Last Year For My Nan As She Died Of Cancer 2 Years Ago And I Raised A Lot Of Money About £200 And I Dont Think That All The Money Went To The Cancer Chairty.
    .

    The £10 you pay goes towards the insurance tesco have to pay to host the event. It also goes towards anything else that is need to make sure you have a safe fun day. The whole point of the run/race is for you to obtain sponsorship - all of the sponsorship goes to Cancer research. It's only your admission fee that pays for things.
    HTH and may change your mind.
    I have done the run the last 3 years and will be running (albeit slowly due to hopefully giving birth 7 weeks before) again this year.

    Hiya how far is it? Just joine a gym and thinking of doing this for first time but only just started jogging so not greatly fit. Is it really hard?

    It's 5km , which is about 3 miles. It kills me every year and I always have to take the next day off work, but I feel loads better for doing it.
    Although this I can't really train for it, so am doing pregnancy yoga to help keep my joints active.
