My dad, Alan Smith, was a trustee at Age UK Cheshire for 14 years and was very passionate about the work they did to support people in the Cheshire area in their later years. Many older people can find their later years lonely but charities like age UK can really make a difference and bring so much positivity about what should be the happier times of life.

I’m off to walk the West Highland way in May, covering just under 100 miles in 7 days. Heck if I hit my target I’ll do Ben Nevis on the final day too!

My dad sadly passed away in 2021 and I’ll be thinking about him a lot on this hike so thought it was an ideal opportunity to raise some money in his memory.

I’d be very grateful if you wish to donate.
