Dot Kesterton joins the Sheffield Together

23rd October 2015

Dot Kesterton, from High Storrs, is pulling on her running boots to take part in Cavendish Cancer Care’s ‘Sheffield Together’ in Ecclesall Woods on November 15th. When a friend of Dot’s challenged her to run 10km in 2008, she was apprehensive. Although Dot, now 63, had always been active, she’d never seen herself as a competitor. Dot says: “I told my friend that I was definitely more of a walker than a runner, but she was having none of it. It was April then and the race itself was in December. I had no excuse really; it was plenty of time to train. I had more time than ever since retiring and enough money to be able to live my life without having to go out looking for work to fill my time.”
