Running for a Passion

The Bath Half Marathon...

One after the other, they jog past me. Their faces are red, their eyes burning with passion and their feet determined to keep them moving. There are so many of them; people are wearing pink wigs to support cancer charities, there are lifeguard supporters, people in Mexican hats, and even people dressed as unicorns to save the unicorns! Around 13 miles each person is running... I can barely do the 3 mile race for life. It's inspiring just watching them all as they run past me, all running to raise awareness, to raise money and to, as simply as that - save lives.

It's amazing to watch them all and see them each with so many different passions; each one has some incentive to keep running, whether it's to run for someone who died from breast cancer, or to support a charity that needs building up.

They're incredible and an inspiration.
