We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

It’s 18 months since I lost the love of my life aged 53.

Julia and I were together for 34 years until she passed in July 2023 from Breast Cancer. Julia was greatly helped by Breast Cancer Now charity which is why I have chosen to raise money for them.

We both read (and were inspired by) The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It details a couple walking the 630 mile South West coastal path in difficult, testing circumstances. We would have loved to have done the walk together.

So I am aiming to complete the walk alone. I will be carrying my own gear and staying in a mixture of hostels and B&B’s.

The elevation gain on the walk is equivalent to climbing Everest 4 times so this is a real challenge.

If you can help by supporting me I would be very grateful and feel that every £ will help me on the toughest days.
