Story
In 2018 I become a trustee of this charity, around the same time my Mum passed away from cancer.
I am now the Vice-Chair of this amazing charity which really makes a huge difference to peoples lives when fighting against cancer. Hope for Tomorrow are a dedicated charity bringing cancer care closer to patients' homes via Mobile Cancer Care Units, which are calming, welcoming and supportive alternatives for patients to receive cancer treatments. Working in a unique partnership with the NHS, we have 10 MCCUs operational nationwide and through the help and support of thousands of amazing supporters, we hope to expand this further to help so many more people get more time with their families and help them fight cancer and win.
So to the Wing Walk, which personally I do not have an issue doing, I quite like the idea of being strapped to a wing of a plane and flung around the air. The biggest challenge I face is the weight entry limit! At the start of this (27th Jan) I weigh in at 15 1/2 stone, the maximum weight is 14 stone. So I have to lose 1.5 stone before the event and then strap myself to a plane (in all honesty, on the day I will have an issue with doing that, im sure).
So this isn't just the challenge of Wing Walking, it's also the challenge of losing 10% of my body weight in time for the flight on the 27th May this year.
If you can help support me on this double challenge and help Hope for Tomorrow, I would be very humbled and grateful, and of course very hungry for the next few months!
