Pet’s granddad lost his fight to cancer in 1997, and so is running the 5k race in his memory. She describes him as “a very kind, loving, fun granddad, everything a granddaughter could wish for.”
Commenting on her fundraising efforts, Petula, who is from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, and works for Kingdom’s Cleaning Division at the Market Place Shopping Centre said: “I have always given money to cancer charities but never thought about doing Race for Life until now. It’s a perfect way to remember him.”
Petula originally aimed to raise £150 for Cancer Research UK, but at the time of writing this post she has in fact raised £1,888 – or 1258% of her target! Commenting on this incredible feat, Pet says: “This has been truly amazing – I never thought I would raise this much! Many many thanks to all my friends and family that have sponsored me so far. My dream would be to get to £2000.”
