Story

In August 1994 we found out that my sister Rebecca had skin cancer (a malignant melanoma). The cancer was a relatively rare and aggressive strain and despite treatment just 16 weeks later Rebecca died aged 27.

To mark the 20th anniversary of her death and to ensure that it was not in vain, I and my nephew Drew, Rebecca's son who was just 2 years old when she died, are hoping to raise money in her memory. 

We have set ourselves the challenge of walking home from Lands End, 26 miles per day for 26 days to raise £26K.

Please support our 676 mile walk by making a donation, any amount large or small is very gratefully received and will help to help others with cancer.
