Cornwall Coast Mighty Hike 2022 - full marathon · 3 September 2022 ·
Growing up, we were always taught that family comes first. Having the time to spend with loved ones and enjoying their company is one of lives true gifts. We would visit Cornwall every summer as kids. Getting ice creams, seeing the sights and running into the sea for a few weeks a year. A well earned break, all together, as a family. Sadly the gift of time is not something we are always guaranteed.
After making it through the struggles of a world wide pandemic, not being able to see loved ones and only being able to communicate over video calls we had finally started to feel solid ground beneath our feet again. Just as things looked like they were starting to go back to some sort of normal, our family took some devastating blows.
After a heroic battle with bowel cancer we lost our Nan in May 2021. In August of the same year, our Aunt, who had been battling an aggressive form of breast cancer, also passed away.
Sadly this evil disease wasn't finished with our family. In February 2022 our Father, who had just lost his mother and sister, was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer. Recently finding out the aggressive form have now progressed to stage 4 spreading to his lungs & liver.
Our dad worked tirelessly to allow us to have the amazing childhood memories we hold today. Running around on those beautiful Cornish beaches. We cant think of a better way to show our appreciation and support for him then to walk the 26 mile walk along that same coast line, raising money in the hope to one day, beat cancer for good.
We are walking the ‘Cornwall Coast Mighty Hike’ in his honour. As a true tribute… we all love you dad ❤️
