Story

Between May 13th and 14th, I will be walking 100 km as part of the Jurassic Coast Challenge. 

In 2017, I walked the Cotswold Way Challenge, and with the support of family and friends, raised nearly £1000 for the June Hancock Mesothelioma Research Fund (JHMRF), the UK's first and largest independent mesothelioma charity. This time, I'll be tackling a second 100 km walking challenge, with more elevation, and pushing for a faster time.

Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive lung cancer, typically linked to asbestos exposure. Continued research into its causes, treatment, and diagnosis is paramount to combatting this devastating disease. The JHMRF has raised well over £1.4m to fund a wide range of research projects and activities supporting people with mesothelioma.

This cause is especially important to my family as my wonderful Granny, Melene Brown, passed away from mesothelioma in 2012.

Please help support me in continuing to raise money for this worthy cause - every little bit helps!

About the charity

The Fund was created in 1997 to raise awareness of mesothelioma, fund research, and to support patients and carers. We have raised more than £1 million, mostly in small donations from those personally affected, for research, a helpline and educational/information events across the country.
