Story

To mark my 50 years on the planet (hard to believe, I know!) I was looking for a 2019 fundraising and fitness challenge. Shortly after I'd seen this one advertised, my daughter Rachel (11) got a text from Eva, one of her best pals, saying she'd just been diagnosed with Cancer. So, decision made for this Libran...I'll be trekking 116 Km, in my birthday month, 26 years since I last did it. It's all about addressing the 'couch potato' nature of my weekends BUT much more importantly to raise lots of cash for this fantastic charity. Their ongoing support of the many, many kids and families who are fighting 'The Big C' is just incredible. Eva and her family are already receiving their support.

Aiming to raise way more than £3,000 through this page and a few fundraising events between now and October. Please help if you can. Donating through Just Giving is simple. Your details are safe, they'll never sell them on or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money will go directly to Cancer Fund for Children.

A great big THANK YOU in advance!
