Year 10 Olivia is running for nana in aid of cancer charity

Olivia will have her two 'nanas' in her mind when she competes in the Preston Pretty Muddy 5k in June.

It's in the Race for Life series and all money raised from the event will go to the charity Cancer Research UK.

Year 10 Olivia explained: "My mum's mum Ann made a full recovery from bladder cancer while my dad's mum Valerie battled cancer for nearly 40 years as it was attached to a blood vessel in her stomach.

"She died in 2019 and it was really hard. I want to raise awareness and tell people how cancer affects the whole family not just the person who has the illness.

"We were all really sad and it's hard, we miss her."

"This race is important to me as I feel I am representing them and anyone else suffering or who has suffered cancer."

The event is around Moor Park with muddy obstacles along the way.

"I will be doing it with my auntie Imogen and my cousin Ilona and it's just a series of muddy obstacles that will take around an hour."

The event is on Saturday, 10 June and for anyone who would like to sponsor Olivia it's>>
