Why am I doing the MacMillan Mighty Hike…… I’ve witnessed my beautiful sister, my mam, my dad and friends all battle cancer in different forms. I’ve lost an amazing aunty to it as well. If walking 26 miles means I can help MacMillan to support just one person or family going through this devastating disease then it will definitely be worth every step. Thank you all for your support and donations they really do make a difference and it means the world to me and the rest of the North-Standard team ❤️

Our reasons for taking part are varied, from people who have been directly impacted by cancer to those who simply think Macmillan are amazing.

This is a great reason for us all to come together as a team to show our solidarity and raise money for a fantastic cause.
