On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning the Mitchell girls psyched themselves up for the 5 kilometre run / walk.
After a quick warm up amongst 2500 women we headed for the start line. The start buzzer sounded and a stampede of women running and walking headed off into Birkenhead Park. We battled through the humidity, water bottles in hand and a crowd cheering us on to the finish line.
Jo Hayes, Sue Owens, Sue Bowkett, Jaqui Rimmer, Cheryl Bromley, Hillary Millington, Bev Mason, Michelle and Cindy Ferguson (mother and daughter team), Anne Morris, Zdenka Sefton and myself reached the finish line and recieved our Race for Life medal.
Although exhausted we were proud of ourselves and the £839 that we raised for such a worthy cause.
