My brave dad is taking on the challenge of walking the 52 miles of the Calderdale Way, over 4 days from the 2nd - 5th October.

For those of you who dont know, dad was shockingly diagnosed with bowel cancer in February this year. He had life saving surgery to remove a tumor, his colon and part of his bowel removed and now has a stoma bag in situ. He's battled through 9 rounds of chemotherapy (so far) and has had good days and bad but now, in his own words 'Now im feeling a bit stronger. I fancy a bit of a challenge!'

At first dad was unsure which charity to walk for. Then when setting up a fundraiser, we came across a bear named buttony, who support children and their families in the life changing position of having a stoma bag. Knowing the struggle dad has had coming to terms with his stoma bag, and being a father of two and grandad of three, the decision was made.

Friends and fellow challengers are welcome to join the walk at any time and any donations are greatly received.
