Story

According to the British Journal of Cancer, one in two people born after 1960 in the UK will be diagnosed with some sort of cancer during their lifetime.

That shocking statistic is only made less daunting by the fact that survival rates are increasing and that charities like Macmillan are available for those who support including advice on treatments or financial/emotional support.

Equally shocking is that the vital support Macmillan provides is funded entirely from donations as they don't receive any government fudning.  This is where we can help.

I will be doing the Wye Valley Mighty Hike (a 26 mile hilly hike!) on 11th September 2021 with my great friends from Southampton University, Natalie and Rachel, to raise funds for this amazing charity that helps so many people facing cancer.  We are making good progress with our training but it is clear that 26 miles in the very hilly Wye Valley is going to be a huge challenge for us!  We are expecting to walk continously for 8-10 hours (hopefully not more!) to complete this challenge.  I would be extremely grateful if you can support me in this challenge and help raise much need funds for Macmillan.
