As many as 1 in 3 (33%) of us will develop cancer at some point in our life time. With statistic that high, it’s devastatingly likely that every single one of us will witness the affects cancer has on people’s lives, battle themselves or have a loved one battle cancer.

Cancer research is something that is close to my heart, especially since losing my nan in 2011 at the young age of just 65! I live in hope that there are new cures and preventions found so that future generations don’t have to deal with the pain of someone being taken away from them far too soon.

That is why I have decided to take part in my biggest challenge yet; A sponsored 50km trek of the Great Wall of China over 5 days, I will join a small group of trekkers to battle the heat whilst we hike up and down thousands of stairs as well as along un-renovated sections of the Great Wall; with crumbling steps, shrubbery and rocks underfoot at height with drops at either side… for up to 7 hours per day!
