Thanks for supporting our fundraising. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.

We will be hiking The South Downs Way in the UK while visiting family. The hike is approx 160kms long and takes 8 to 10 days to complete. We already have over 5000 subscribers on our YouTube channel ( Turtle Tracks Travels ) and are hoping to encourage followers to donate. We will also be donating any money we earn from these videos for the months of August and September, dividing the amount between 2 charities. Any costs involved we will be paying for as we were going to do the hike anyway.

We thought that as we’re doing this hike, it would be nice to raise money for 2 charities, one in Australia and one in the UK. We picked 2 charities that really make a difference in peoples lives. We picked Macmillan Cancer Support because this charity is close to our hearts. They supported Denise’s Nan and Grandad, especially Denise’s Nan during her last stages of life and Denise’s Mum and Dad, while Denise’s mum had cancer and cancer treatment (they still continue to support the family). The other charity we picked is Make A Wish Australia because we feel really lucky to be able to travel, hike and 4WD, we know there’s less fortunate people who cannot, and if we can make at least one wish come true, it will all be worth it.

A bit about us- we’ve been living in Australia since 2006 but 3 years ago we sold everything to travel and live on the road. We’ve been travelling around Australia and next year are going to take a vehicle and drive across the globe. We decided to take a European/UK break to see family, complete this hike and do some fundraising.

Thank You For Your Support

Denise & Gary
