Story

We are raising money for the Marie Curie charity who were exceptional to Gareth and his family in his time of need.

We are planning to walk from Loughor Boating Club to Burry Port on Sunday, 15th November 2026 starting out at 8am and aiming to be at Burry Port by 12:45pm because that was the time he always arranged to meet up with everyone on a Sunday.

We became aware of Gareth's diagnosis of 2 glioblastoma tumours which were both aggressive and inoperable in January 2026. Throughout Gareth's illness Marie Curie came to help and support Gareth and his family. Unfortunately Gareth passed away on 12th May 2026. Marie Curie were there with their help and support for the duration of that time.

It would be Gareth's birthday 3 days before the walk and we are doing this walk in his memory and to raise money for a very worthy cause.

Please donate whatever you can so Marie Curie can continue to help other people like Gareth.

Gareth would be chuffed at whatever we raise and he would have loved the occasion of his friends and family getting together.
