In June 2025, I have challenged myself to take on the Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike to help raise money for people living with cancer.

Back in December our good friend and colleague Laura James lost her battle with cancer at the age of just 46.

So in Laura's memory a few of us in the Science Department at Roundhay School have signed up to complete the Macmillan Mighty Hike. The hike is a 42km (26 miles in old money) walk around the Yorkshire Dales that will provide a serious test for us.

I'd be so grateful if you could help me reach my individual £250 pledge, which can pay for Macmillan Nurse for one day and our team total goal of £1500. This could provide people living with cancer and their families essential medical, practical and emotional support.

There are currently 3 million people living with cancer in the UK today. It's Macmillan's goal to be there for everyone from the moment of diagnosis, but they can't do this without donations from people like you.

Thank you!
