Taking her inspiration from little Leo, who can't sit still, Mary decided to take part in Cancer Research's
Race For Life. Two thousand women from Stevenage and the surrounding area ran. Mary was running for Marge (Nana) Payne and Grampa William Heppenstall. Every other person there had someone in their life who had been touched by cancer. It was quite emotional - Mary was crying before the race had even started!
Nevertheless, she managed to pull herself together and here you see her powering her way to the finish line in her record time of 27 minutes exactly (beating her p.b. by 38 seconds)! She finished well within the first 50 runners! Leo and I were hoarse from cheering her on.
Well done love - I'm proud of you!
Thank you to all who sponsored Mary - she raised a grand total of £360 for a wonderful cause.

I noticed you're an actuary. My son's a math wiz and plans to enter college. Do you like being in your occupation? What sort of talents, other than mathematics and statistics, are required?
Congratulations on your children's graduation last month. It's great your son is planning on studying maths - a great subject for getting a decent job.
As a short answer to your question, I love my job. Like you, I love variety and problem solving - all of which I get in abundance. On top of the various technical skills, communication is the key soft skill - there's little point doing great work if nobody understands it!
If either you or your son would like a more detailed reply, please email me.
