| A truly great, very missed, mum |
Dear Readers, (cash for questions, see below)
I know you are fabulous. You're so fabulous. And you're probably a mum. Or you may indeed have a mum. You may even be a dad.
Last year a friend of mine died quite suddenly. Ah, she was a beautiful woman, very gentle, and a truly good friend. She was also mum to two children; Katie (then 11), and William just four, now five.
She went so, so quickly, there was no treatment, as such. She fell ill, worsened rapidly, and then she was gone.
Whenever I think of this special mum, I cry... yes, even now, as I write this, I cry.
Her daughter is now twelve, her mum loved running (Katie, I suspect, does not love running as much!) and so Katie, to raise money to help other families, will complete a charity run this summer.
She wants to reach her target and is almost there.
I want you to help her, donating even a little will make such a big difference.

*Another daughter, this time a much bigger girl (my age), lost her mum to cancer last week. Again, it was rapid. I always thought cancer took you slowly, but sometimes it steals in and whips you away within the bat of an eye.
Below is a message from Katie's donation page, written by the Supergirl herself.
I've decided to do this with some of my friends and their mums in memory of my special mum who sadly passed away in August 2010.She died of cancer which was undiagnosed which meant we had little time to say goodbye.
She was a wonderful mum to me and my younger brother William, stepmum to Michael and loving partner to David. She enjoyed spending time with her children and always made us feel special. She always made a big effort with birthdays and special occasions.
She is really missed by us all everyday.
We want to raise as money as possible for Cancer Reseach in memory of mum and to help beat cancer.

Today Katie did her run/walk for Race for Life. Well done.
Her family and friends cheared her on and helped made the day special for her. We miss you Kathy you where a great friend.
(I miss you more than words can say.... dear dear friend. We text each other most days, sharing our thoughts and helping each other., very often about our children.'LIfe is so busy...hardly any time to relax.' We talked about what we would do next and planned things, this summer would have been great. Our day out at the Willow Pool last year in June, we had a great time. I bought you your birthday present early what a laugh we had that day, I will remember that day always. Katie amd William they are looked after and loved very much.)
I am not a single Mother but I do respect and support my sisters and friends who are or have been..finding love once again.
Single Fathers - well done to. YOu all do a fantastic job.
Love Anne
