Race for Life in Sheffield last
weekend was a massive success for the girls from Spencers Estate Agents who
managed to get round in record personal best times, even in the blistering
sunshine. Yes, believe it or not, Sunday was gloriously sunny in Sheffield and
the Race for Life was more popular than ever with over 5,000 women and children
running the race to raise money for Cancer Research. Most people, unfortunately,
have their own personal stories where cancer is involved and the run highlights
how close to everyone’s hearts this charity is with many having personal
stories and messages written on their backs. 
Nicola Spencer and Sally Potter
from Spencers Estate Agents were up early for the 8am warm up with “Sexy Dan”
in Sheffield City Centre which took place in front of the tallest building in
Sheffield, the St Paul’s Tower, next to the Sheffield cheese grater car park,
which is Nicola’s favourite City icon.
The course, being based around
Sheffield City sights, did have some uphill struggles, but the girls felt proud
with the achievement at the end. “Sheffield being built on seven hills was
never going to provide a level playing field” said Nicola, “but the sense of
satisfaction at the end was enormous, as neither of us are natural athletes! We
will be back next year to beat our times again!”
Nicola and Sally raised over £400
for Cancer Research through Race for Life. Thank you to everyone who sponsored
them.
