Thanks for supporting my fundraising. 

I have had a lot of experience over the years with the work Macmillan do. They have provided support to my family, friends and colleagues and I wanted to do something to give back and say thank you.

I discovered this trek through the charity and am looking forward to it. The trek is approx 36km over 5 days travelling up and down a LOT of steps, one section has 1,000 steps up. In addition to these steps, there is a section which can take an hour to cover 1km! However, this brings me back to why I am taking on this challenge:

My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer  in 2012 and lost her battle early 2013. Macmillan made sure she was comfortable and could remain within her own home for as long as possible by lending equipment  They also provided my grandad with much needed support and advice.

I then lost a close friend to cancer in 2016. Macmillan provided support to her husband and children whilst she was going through treatment.

There have also been work colleagues who have made it through treatment who have experienced the support from Macmillan.

Macmillan Cancer Support is here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, providing physical, financial and emotional support. So whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right right there with you.
