Taking a break from blogging about birdwatching, Northumberland, photography and wildlife…but just for this afternoon \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Sarah and Kirsty will be taking part in the Cancer Research UK Race for Life.\u00a0 It’s only a couple of months since they started training for the Sport Relief Mile (and, when they did run the 1.4 miles around Ladyburn Lake<\/a> at Druridge Bay Country Park, that was further than they’d run continuously in training).\u00a0 Now they’re going to run 5km…and that won’t be the end of it.\u00a0 The grand plan is heading towards completing a marathon sometime before 2020.<\/p>\n

In the meantime though, the Race for Life is really important, so please consider sponsoring Sarah and Kirsty <\/a>this weekend.\u00a0 My own background was in Cancer Research, as a medicinal chemist, and several of my relatives passed away after developing cancer so it’s a cause that’s close to my heart.\u00a0 Poignantly, a very close friend was recently diagnosed with cancer so our thoughts are with him and his family.\u00a0 He’s more than just a friend though; he can relate anecdotes that I’m embarrassed by (and I really don’t embarrass easily!) and\u00a0I’ve seen his sons grow from little lads into fine young men, one of whom has just made him a grandad for the first time.\u00a0 Get well soon\u00a0Shaun – we still\u00a0have to take\u00a0you on a trip to the Farne Islands \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
