Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We have decided as a family to raise as much money as possible for the EHE rare cancer charity. In 2024, Luke was diagnosed with EHE a very rare cancer which affects 4 in every 10 million people in the UK. https://ehercc.org.uk/facts-about-ehe/

Luke is currently taking part in a clinical trial as there are limited interventions available for treatment at this stage. Our children Rohan and Zahra have come up with a beautiful idea of trying to raise money for much needed research and to support the charity in helping those affected by EHE and their families. Please watch the video below explaining more.

Our "happy place" as a family is in the Vosges mountains in France and we have enjoyed so much time there over the years. We have chosen a specific trail to hike together (along with our dog Marley) over the next year and would appreciate any donation as an incentive for us to achieve this. The trail is 430km in length and supposedly France's most historic hiking route. We always enjoy our hikes as a family and the adventures all over the world are banked in our memories. This trek will be a challenge but one we are ready to take to raise as much money as we can for this very much needed charity.
