My name is Alan, I have lived in Polegate with my wife, Elaine and our family for over 35 years. You will often see me out walking with my wife, our dogs and often our grandchildren too.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and I am now on my second round of chemotherapy. I, like many others fighting cancer have received amazing support from St Wilfrid's Hospice, a charity that has become very dear to me.

I want to do my bit so they can go on to support others like me. To do this, I have set myself the challenge of walking 5k a day for 5 days starting on the 14 October. This will allow me to complete my challenge between doses of chemo. 

If you feel able to sponsor me and help me raise money for this wonderful cause I'd really appreciate it. Your donation, no matter how small will go someway to giving others like me the support they need.
