Story

Thank you so much for supporting my fundraising .

I've decided to 'celebrate' my retirement after 43 years of work by taking on a new personal challenge to support yet another incredibly worthwhile Charity:

The 280 mile Cross-Britain way - walking solo from Boston, Lincolnshire across to Barmouth on the west coast of Wales

The trek will cross 6 English counties including - Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire & Shropshire. Once in Wales I'll then be walking through both Powys and Gwynedd until I reach the west coast at Barmouth. 

In taking on the 280 mile Trek, it will definitely be one of the most demanding and probably quite painful challenges I've undertaken. After all, the body isn't getting any younger!!

Therefore, any money I hope to receive in sponsorship will certainly be earned the hard way. 

On this occasion I have decided to raise money to support the incredible work that Macmillan Cancer Support provide to people diagnosed with Cancer. 

In their words : 

"We’re here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, providing physical, financial and emotional support. So whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you".

"At Macmillan, we give people with cancer everything we’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are our worries. We’re doing whatever it takes. 

But without your help we can’t support everyone who needs us".

Thank you so much in anticipation of your support, and I look forwards helping Macmillan raise some much needed funds through your very kind generosity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

Many Thanks

Graham
