Vicki's nomination story

Mother of 12! Works full time. Survived breast cancer and now raises money for Cancer/Asthma charities. Completed 2 marathons and raised £7kI didn't expect to be nominated to be a torch holder. I was stunned and very touched. I believe there is a silver lining in every cloud and that things that try to break us in fact make us stronger. I think every day you should live your life to the full and not worry what you can take from each day but what you give. I try to do the best I can in the things I do be it as a wife a Mother a teacher running the church holiday club being a friend or running a marathon...ok I am totally no good at running marathons :) but I try. I want to give back for this life that I have. I've suvived breast cancer and I am grateful for that everyday. What are my dreams and goals I am asked? Well that is simple it is to make a difference :)
