Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know my Dad sadly passed away from Cancer in July last year. The support that was given to him and our family from medical staff and various charities throughout his illness was amazing. 

He was a brilliant dad, a wonderful husband and a great friend to all that knew him. Even when he was at his most ill he was still so positive and brave and he never lost his sense of humour. He has inspired me to take up this hiking challenge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support

The trip will be in November this year, and we will be walking for around 7-9 hours per day for 6 days in the foothills of the Himalayas.

If you know me well you will know that I am not really your 'outdoorsy' type of girl and this will be a real challenge for me. I'm not sure how im going to cope out there without my eyeliner and internet connection but knowing how good the cause is and how proud my Dad would be of me I know I will be able to do it.

Me and my family are paying the portion of the fee that covers my travel costs so 100% of donations will go to the charity.

Please dig deep and donate what you can, even a few pounds will make a massive difference.
