There are so many - family members, relatives, close friends, friends of friends - battling and living with the dreaded C word every day. In support of them, those relatives and family members who have beaten it, and in memory of those who lost the battle, I am raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support!

I always wanted to run a marathon… but let’s face it, I am not a runner…so when my very close friend suggested the Mighty Hike - in memory of her amazing mum - I have taken on the challenge. And what better way to live my dream than by walking a marathon in support of this amazing charity!

Please support me with anything you can spare. Every penny will make it just a little bit easier to deal with the blisters, black toes and hurting legs after the 26.2miles / 42.195km.
