In May 2024, I am taking on my fourth MacMillan Mighty Hike. Having conquered The Lake District, The Rob Roy Way and the Jurassic Coast in the past, this year I'm heading for the route through the beautiful and dramatic Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park to raise vital funds for people living with cancer. This is all in memory of my dad and to continue my heartfelt thanks for the amazing support that MacMillan gave to my family during the most difficult of times.

I won't be alone this year and will be participating as part of Team Ali's Babas, so will be ably assisted by my lil' sis, Lisa, my big bruv, Shane, and his partner, Andrea.

We have each pledged to raise a minimum of £250, so £1,000 for the team, and would appreciate any support in reaching this target. By fundraising my pledge, I could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for two days who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone affected by cancer.
