Story
As you will probably know, this Charity is very close to my heart following my fathers death earlier this year. Macmillan's were an unbelievable support during this time, enabling him to live out his final weeks in as much comfort as humanly possible at his home and with his family, rather than in a hospital bed. This meant so much to him and indeed to us, but it was the speed and care that Macmillan's acted in, that really moved us. Within hours of being given clearance by the doctors, Macmillan's had transformed a room in our house into somewhere that would allow my father to be at home, with all necessary equipment. On top of this they sent up to 4 nurses a day to attend to him and make things manageable for my mother and family, even on Christmas Day!! The time that this allowed us to spend with him was special in a way I could never describe and was only possible due to Macmillan's, I will never be able to repay this debt, but I'm gonna give it a try!!
So I am part of a team from Michael Page which on 24th September this year is looking to conquer the Yorkshire Three Peaks, supporting our charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.
I’ve got another peak to climb – my fundraising target. Beyond that lies the challenge itself - the Yorkshire Three Peaks – Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough. An arduous 25 mile hike that takes in 5000 feet of climbing – and all in under 12 hours. Our Michael Page team will raise a minimum of £30,000.
So thanks in advance for generously supporting our efforts in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and all the people these funds will go on to help.
