On 4th September 2021, My Dad, Alan, my partner, Mani & I will be facing the Jurassic Coast on a gruelling marathon hike. (Eek) 

We are doing this to raise money for Macmillan Nurses who have looked after our loved ones in their final days and our cancer survivors (including my Dad) and their families. 

Your mighty hikers are:

Alan, 78. Prostate cancer stage 4, survivor, retired R.A. Captain and all round super hero. Motivation:This is for the survivors of prostate cancer so that we might provide support to our lovely nurses for the less fortunate.

Mani, 50. Secondary school maths teacher and skilled mechanic. Motivation: The friends and Family alike who have suffered at the hand of Cancer.

Sarah, 46. Retired tap dancer and acrobat. Motivation: I will be thinking about the friends I have lost and the families I will help by completing this marathon hike.

Your donation will make a massive difference and will go straight to Macmillan. 

Thank you, Alan, Mani & Sarah xx
