We wanted to do something worthwhile for Steve’s 50 Birthday and what better than raise money for Cancer. So with my lovely Wife Jane and crazy fun loving Daughter Kirsty we decided to walk the 200 mile + across England from the West Coast to the East coast mainly following A.W.Wainwright’s traditional coast to coast route with a few diversions over the higher peaks, giving a total ascent of 30,232 ft. that’s 4% higher than Everest, and hopefully not too many wrong turns.

 Every penny donated will go to Cancer Research UK, none of the funds raised will be used by us for logistical purposes to support the challenge.

 

 Most Families have been touched by this awful illness and the more that can be done to help the treatment of Cancer the better.

We chose this charity as Jane’s family have had more than their fair share of suffering, her Father died while she was still at school and her Mother was taken from us seven weeks before we got married, both from Cancer and after a long period of suffering. Jane’s brother has suffered from prostrate cancer and her sister has just been given the all clear after suffering from Breast Cancer. Jane’s elder sister is at this moment fighting a tough battle with, womb, Bowel and secondary Cancers and our thoughts and prayer go with her as we take on our challenge.

 

UPDATE:

On 18/1/14 Sadly Jane’s elder sister Barbara, after a traumatic last few days lost her fight against Cancer. This has been a tough time and only strengthened our determination to complete this challenge and raise money to help this happening to others. So In memory of Barbara PLEASE HELP US BY DONATING TO CANCER RESEARCH UK VIA OUR JUSTGIVING PAGE.
