Story

Join me on an epic journey to the Himalayas to climb Lobuche Peak (6119m) and run the Everest Marathon while fundraising in support of Macmillan - a charity close to my heart.

My name is Shaunna Burke and I recently completed 12-months of aggressive treatments for incurable breast cancer. I am excited to be raising money for Macmillan who provide a range of services for people living with cancer to help them live life as fully as they can.

With your help and kindness, we can make a real difference in the lives of people affected by cancer.

Throughout my climb and run, I will be openly discussing the challenges people face when diagnosed with cancer and the mind-set needed to cultivate resilience and grow through adversity. Join me on this incredible journey and together let’s make a positive impact on the world.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Only £34 of money raised will help pay for a Macmillan Nurse for one hour, to give essential medical, practical and emotional support to people living with cancer and their families.

Your support means the world to me.

Many thanks,

Shaunna
