Story

Etta's uncle, Leo, died of bowel cancer 3 months before she was born. She never got to meet him in person, but hears about him everyday. 

April is bowel cancer awareness month & Leo's birthday month. All charities are being hit hard by the Coronavirus pandemic, but this is one close to our hearts so we have chosen to support it with the 2.6 challenge. Etta will (hopefully!!) walk/run/dance 2.6km in total on the 26th April - some of this will be when we are out for our daily exercise and we will do the rest in laps around our garden! We'll have to be quite inventive to find ways to keep her on track, so you can look forward to photographs...!
