Our team of family members and friends will walk together across Dartmoor on 6th October 2024 in memory of Lynette Beard 17.05.1966 - 11.05.2023. Lyn was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of March 23. She fought cancer bravely, accepting gracefully and selflessly her prognosis. Lynette was inspirational, she was full of FUN in all aspects of her life. A wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, teacher and precious friend. The 13 Tor Trek is a perfect way to continue to celebrate a very special lady who gave so much. Lynette, with her siblings, was brought up local to Dartmoor herself, and married Trevor who grew up in Widecombe; so Widecombe-in-the Moor is a truly fitting place to start and end the walk. Lyn and Trev spent many happy times with their 4 children visiting the Devonshire grandparents. Of course there are other places on the route of special significance to the family too. Lynette would especially have encouraged the celebratory ‘cream tea’ at the end of the hike!

Team ‘CLOUD OF BLACKBIRDS’ are pleased to collectively support Marie Curie in raising vital funds that will go some way to support other families experiencing cancer in their lives. Thank you to all of our supporters and for those of you who have donated to the cause.
