The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

As part of a group of enthusiastic Tudor re-enactors we are walking an old pilgrim trail to raise money for good causes.

We are raising money for charity by walking the 20 miles from Kentwell Hall in Suffolk to Bury St Edmunds cathedral along the old pilgrimage route. We are a group of 7 Tudor enthusiasts who reenact at Kentwell hall and are doing this in full Tudor costume and as authentically as possible (although we are using modern boots as Tudor ones wouldn't stand up to the pounding!). We are also staying at authentic hostelries along the way.

Of an evening we will also be story telling as the ancient pilgrims would have done. We will end our trip with a blessing of our St Edmunds pilgrim badges at the cathedral

Please do support us on our journey and sponsor us for our various great causes.

As we know, cancer is all too common and most of us know friends or family who have been affected. Sadly, my business partner Graham suffered from thrombocythemia that eventually converted into acute myeloid leukaemia.

For me, the importance of Macmillan was demonstrated when my other business partner Paul was diagnosed with bowel & oesophagus cancer. Macmillan were there for him & his family throughout his battle, providing much-needed help and support, every step of the way. I still miss them both, but would love to think my walk could, in a small way, help other families in similar circumstances.

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.
