Dear Sarah,
I promised that I would run
with your name on my back
and I did it today
with my lovely friend, Hilary,
and hundreds of other women,
cheered on by MrM and MissM.
We looked absolutely ridiculous
dressed up in fluffy boppers,
wings (me) and tutu (Hilary)
and I am still covered in glitter
but it doesn't matter because
everyone was entertained
and our friends and families
were incredibly generous
so that we raised £845
for cancer research.
Afterwards we stood in the sunshine
drinking pink fizz and eating cupcakes
and I thought of you and smiled.
It was a wonderful celebration
of life and of friendship.
You would have loved it.

I am so glad that Sarah's memory is being kept alive by you like this.
