Apologies for any offence Cath, I certainly wasn't in any way trying to lessen the seriousness of the message

the strides are great - a 10k walk, you can do it as fast or slow as you like( you could even run it) and you can take family and friends along and have nice day out in the park - picnic after!
But best of all its raising the profile of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and all proceeds go to work in prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
(and you nice goody bag at the end)
oh and Ill be striding at Tatton Park in Knutsford on the 20th if anyone is doing that one
yes
you can enter on the day or ring either the hotline 0845 602 1940 or email strideforlife@cancer.org.uk - you could also ring the Manchester office of Cancer ResearchUk - Ill find you the number if you want.
Its £6 in advance or £10 on the day - you could circulate your sponsor form on this forum too!
( I don't work for CRUK - honest!)
thanks for your reply on my walking thread
I live in Altrincham by the way
Your positive attitude is great to see - you're the Jane Tomlinson of the forums

has anyone come across any good sports bras that are not like corsets?
I like to wear crop top style bras all the time but I'm a strange shape 40 A/B (I'm tall with abroad back !!!)
Most larger sized bras dont have smaller cup sizes and I get strange looks in M&S.
I dont really like industrial crop tops or lacy - so I'm a bit stuck and what I've got is getting a bit grey!
but its slipped again
boooiiiinnnnnggggg!
if folk cant enter the stride for life - but would like to do something to support breast cancer awareness - why not give the entry fee (6/10quid) as sponsorship or a pledge?

I have heard of lessbounce

(sorry - Im being flippant)
Iain: I'm showing how ignorant I am ... who is Jane Tomlinson..?
On a similar note, I think that regular pap smears should be promoted as well.
As a person who had a cancer scare in this area I think it is essential that ladies go regularly for a smear test (every one - two years). I've got mine today (down to yearly now) and I'm so nervous. Always scared that I might have to go through it all again. Fingers crossed. And Cath, you are an inspiration to us all. Through your troubles you remain upbeat. I don't know if I would be so strong.
