A Diary of A Mesowarrior living with Mesothelioma #mesothelioma #asbestos — Race for Meso at Worthing for the Mavis Nye Foundation
We had a date for an event at Worthing Yesterday–A fun 5k run/walk to raise money and awareness of mesothelioma cancer (cancer you get from exposure to asbestos ) this is in memory of my dad Steve Tuffill who I lost January ’17.
The meeting point was across from Steyne gardens on the seafront all the way to George v and back.
Everyone had to come wearing blue
Easy —
No way engineering works at Rainham to Rochester held us up badly even though we got the 6.30 train to London.
So it was watching the clock all the way. We did arrive at Worthing and got a taxi to the Seafront and arrived 5 mins for the off.
We made it !!
Angie Mackrell was so pleased I did and there was time for a quick hug and then she started the Run
So many young children joining in with such enthusiasm it was a really happy occasion that had a sad background to it.
As they ran off Ray and I sneaked a hot chocolate in a nice old fashioned seaside cafe and then came back to watch the runners come back to the finishing line. 
Angie has taken a video and pictures so I will add when she has published them. Everyone was so happy they had achieved the mission
Miles for Meso was set up by Worthing’s Angie Mackrell in memory of her father, Steve Tuffill, who passed away in 2017 after suffering from mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer.
Race over we said our goodbyes and walked to the pier then into the high Street caught a bus to the station and was soon on the train again with the bus change at Rainham meant we arrived home so very tired.
We were soon in bed and sleeping.
