Story

The ‘Weegie Walkers’ (as Lindsey and I are now known 😂) are taking on the 23 mile ‘Mighty Stride’ in the Glasgow Kiltwalk in April in the hope we can raise lots of money for Teenage Cancer Trust!

Teenage Cancer Trust are dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young cancer patients aged 13-24. They fund and build specialist units in NHS hospitals and provide dedicated staff, bringing young people together so they can be treated by teenage cancer experts in the best place for them.

This charity offer incredible support to teenagers living with cancer including my daughter, following her cancer diagnosis in 2024. A routine ‘you’ve had that cough too long’ scan in 2023 revealed a shadow that was later diagnosed as a chondrosarcoma. She has endured multiple scans, consultations and major thoracic and plastic surgery whilst continuing to work hard at university to become a physiotherapist to eventually take care of others and help them in their recovery.

After the all clear in June 2024, we now find ourselves back under the care of her original amazing team of NHS surgeons, consultants, radiologists, phlebotomists, nurses (and everyone in between!) in an unexpected and unwelcome twist that we face with optimism and the continued support of family and friends.

Please give what you can - from a penny to a pound - and help us Weegie Walkers’ on our way to their charity target.

With the biggest thanks we can give you, Lindsey & Claire ❤️ 🙏🏻
