On Saturday 14th September 2024, I’ll be taking on the 26.2 mile Mighty Hike along the beautiful Northumberland coastline to raise money for people living with cancer. Over the weekend, my dad, sister and I, plus friends and family will be doing the marathon and half marathon course. My dad, I and others are doing the marathon on the Saturday.

We’re doing this in memory of our mum. Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December, and died less than 6 weeks later. She was 69. Previously very active and healthy. That’s tough to take, but we know we’re not the only ones affected by cancer. We’re doing our bit. Bring it on.

I have pledged to raise £250 and would appreciate any support in reaching this. By fundraising my pledge, I could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for two days who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone affected by cancer.
