Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've set this page up in the memory of Barbara my wife of 41 years who died on her 61st birthday 8th June 2016. For those of you who knew Barbara well you will remember how organised she was at work and at home. She always liked things planned well in advance and including our holidays which she would book a year in advance. When Barbara knew she was dying she made me promise to continue to fulfil the dreams that we should have been sharing together. One of the trips would have been an escorted tour of Peru ending at Machu Picchu, the ruined Inca city high in the mountains.Barbara suggested I should take our youngest son Stephen with me. When I started investigating I decided to get to Machu Picchu via the Inca trail a 4 day hike at high altitude. Once I'd decided on this and told Stephen he would have to get fit for the walk, David our eldest son and Barbara's brother Michael decided to come too. So the 4 of us are doing the hike in May this year and along the way hope to raise money for Cancer Research UK, in the hope that a cure can be found and prevent people having to suffer the loss of a loved one from this horrible disease, and from having to go through the pain and grief that I suffer every day since Barbara's passing.

Please help us and give generously, thank you.
