25 years supporting people affected by breast cancer
Last year I joined those who were marshalls at Hyde Park.
It was fun and for such a very good reason.
I paired off with a lady from Australia and we had some real fun, beginning when we tried to redirect the serious Army runners in the opposite direction!
May this year be as successful,
Yvonne Spalding.
