    :A Thanks Sue for your very wise words!:A


    Hopefully my DH & his siblings will be tested soon, they just can't face it at the moment. My FIL is making everyday count & it's such a joy to have this extra time with him. We all just feel so so lucky, & are over the moon!

    Love Kirsty. x

    You're so welcome Kirsty, but half of the battle I'm sure is the fact that all the family are pulling together to help him through his battle to help him enjoy himself as well. I'd imagine it must be so awful for those who are unable to get the strength to do so, I'm so pleased you all DID!!

    Keep happy with him as I know you will.

    Love, Sue

    Hi MoneySavingStudent, why not put something on your sig like Kirsty has done. You could also have your just giving page on your profile as others do. Check out finallydebtfree!!'s profile and you'll see how Kerry's done here.

    Good luck!

    i didnt realise how emotional these days can be.. it was very very hot and that was just for us spectators so if your racing and its hot take your time its called a race but there is no need to race you dont win anything extra.. watching people collapes at the finishing line wasnt pleasant when there is no need to.

    Congratulations to her jockettuk! I found the London Marathon emotional enough, but when it's your own taking part as well ....well I think I can understand the feelings you endured.
