Story

Hello !

I'm Emma Cook and I am 23 years old .
Thank you for taking this time to visit my JustGiving Page.

Some of you may remember that I Skydived in 2011 and Walked on Fire in 2015 to raise money for the Isabel Hospice Charity. When this Trek came up I couldn't resist the Challenge !

I am going to do the Great Wall of China Trek challenge in memory of my wonderful dad - Steve Cook.

My dad was diagnosed with having a cancerous brain tumour In 2008. For 2 years he put on a brave face and battled through his Chemo and Radio therapy.
Just before Christmas 2009 my dad went to the Isabel Hospice, and that's where he spent his last 13 days before he passed away.
The Isabel hospice cared for my dad and they supported my mum Lynn and my sister Laura and I through this terrible time.
January 2nd 2010 my dad passed away at the age of just 51.

Steve Cook was loved by many and still now, 7 years on he is extremely missed. He was one in a million.
He was my dad but also my inspiration and my best friend.

On the 14th October I will be flying to China for 9 days to take on the Great Wall.
The trek will take me on a vigorous uphill climb which will require an intense training plan prior to the challenge .
I am definitely not the most fittest of sportiest person and this challenge is completely out of my comfort zone and will test me to the limit !!!

I can not stress enough that every pound helps. What ever you can spare I will be extremily grateful and will make a difference to improve someone's life .


Please join me in trying to make a difference and support the wonderful Isabel Hospice.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
Xx
