Story

On 23rd April 2004, Mum passed away from cancer.  

Mum loved the great outdoors, moving us all to the middle of nowhere with dreams to 'live off the land'.  Our busy family home was surrounded by fields and wildlife and her life was about caring for our menagerie of animals.  Her 'four blond girls' were her 4 golden retrievers.

As this year marks our 20th year without her,  my sisters and I (the other 'four blond girls') have decided to take on a Mighty Hike of 26 miles to raise funds for people living with cancer.

Macmillan nurses provided hands-on support to Mum and her husband John in those final weeks. The information and comfort the nurses provided was invaluable to us.

I have pledged to raise £250 and would appreciate any support in reaching this. 

By fundraising my pledge, I could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for two days who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone else affected by cancer.
