....have organised this Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, on Saturday 16th September, in her memory.

We are raising money for Sunflowers Cancer Support in Liverpool. It is a wonderful local charity. They do not receive any NHS or Government funding and rely solely on donations. So we want to raise as much as we can!

Mary was a qualified counsellor, spending many years managing a "pay what you can afford" counselling charity in Liverpool, that helped lots families and individuals, including some of those impacted by the Hillsborough Tragedy. She understood the importance of having somewhere to turn to when you may be feeling scared and confused. We feel that raising money for Sunflowers is a fitting way to honour her memory and support lots more individuals and their families who may be battling cancer or grieving after losing a loved one.

We have been training hard for this challenge and would love your support! (please have a look at the attached photos of the practice hikes we have completed over the last few months!)

Please donate what you can! And spread the word so we can raise as much as possible!!

Sunflowers costs £12000 a month to offer 1200 appointments to vulnerable people in Merseyside living with Cancer or Long Term diagnosis and their loved ones.

£20 would provide a therapeutic massage for someone living with pain from a condition

£50 pays for a cancer support group where 40 people can have a cup of tea and talk about their life

£100 would pay for 10 sessions for a person in counselling coping with a diagnosis

£200 allows us to open of an evening and Saturday morning to help people who are well enough to go back to work but still need that bit of support.

£250 would pay for a monthly lunch for 50 people coming together who may be finding anxiety through isolation with the aftereffects of the pandemic
