I’m taking on 5k a Day in June for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be completing 5k every day from 1st to 30th June to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

2nd run on day 1

Monday 1st Jun
Decided to run/walk home, didn’t take a break this time.

1st run of the month

Monday 1st Jun
Im extremely happy with the time however I did need a two 2 minute breaks at the 2km and 4km mark (I paused the time when I took the breaks)

My personal goal

Monday 18th May
Other than raising money for charity I have a personal goal of running a sub 28 minute 5km, my PB is around 23 minutes but I’ve not ran properly in years so it’ll be nice to set and see a if I can achieve a good time.
 I’ll be tracking my time and progress throughout the entire month and posting updates on how I’m feeling.

I asked to tip after ordering a breakfast roll at a place called ‘lakeside diner’ which is just east of Wanstead by Hollow pond. They said for me to donate to the young lives instead. So this donation is from them.
