this page is for my 6 year challenge total

 

In June 2009 I trekked the Inca Trial in Peru to the lost city of Machu Picchu for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan are a fantastic and unique team of people who looked after my mum in her final months of life in 1996. They are the people everyone forgets at that tough time and they keep doing it day in day out to support, listen and well just let you have a good old cry, but most importantly to me, helped me keep my sense of humour at that bleak time. So this personal challenge was in memory of my mum and to say thank you to those great people who don’t want a medal, as it is just their job, a job they do so well, and for which they do deserve a medal.

I also trekked in honour of a very dear friend who passed on the 12 of August 2008 at the age of 28 after a very short and tough battle with the disease god bless you Babs, you are missed. I must also not forget the many other people I know who have been affected by this disease, this was for YOU as well ;0)

 

During my training and fund raising though both challenging inspired me to continue my efforts to raise funds for Macmillan. So I have set myself a challenge to raise £20,000 by June 2016 to commemorate my mums passing. To do this I intend to hold events such as the successful Norte Chico Cabaret night. Over the next 7 years I also intend to take part in numerous Macmillan Overseas Challenges such as climbing Kilimanjaro, walking The Great Wall of China, Trekking the Sahara Desert and the Trans Central America Cycle. As well as overseas challenges I aim to take part in UK based challenges walking the Coast to Coast walk and heading from north to south along the Pennine Way.

I will be finishing my challenges by once again trekking to the lost city of the Incas Machu Picchu the place that has inspired me in June 2016.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
