Story

Hello, we are Ellie, Tegan, Caitlin, Evi, Carys and Ffion. We will be doing the 26 mile MacMillan Mighty Hike this July in honour of Ellie’s beautiful mam Vicky, who sadly passed away last year after a 7 year long battle with cancer. Vicky’s amazing husband Steve, Ellie and her brothers Sam and Scott have dealt with this just as Vicky dealt with her diagnosis. With incredible and unimaginable amounts of courage and love.

Vicky and Steve’s home was often a home away from home for all of us. With every special occasion celebrated at their infamous shed. Even whilst going through the worst thing you could imagine as a family, the Thomas family made their home into a haven for all of us, filling it with music, laughter and some truly awful singing. Vicky was an incredible and inspiring woman, she treated all of us like her own and we are all so very blessed to have known her.

Vicky dedicated her life to helping others, with an incredibly successful career as a social worker. She had a positive impact on every life she touched. Vicky and her beautiful family raised over £10,000 for Maggies Cancer Support during her battle with cancer. Even in the hardest of times the Thomas family were always giving back. We kindly ask you to do the same.

100% of donations will be given to MacMillan Cancer Support who have helped to support over 2 million families effected by cancer. The support they provide is a saving grace and a lifeline to so many people like Vicky, Steve, Ellie, Sam and Scott. Your donation - no matter how big or small - makes the world of difference to families whose lives have been turned upside down by this awful disease. Thank you for your support. We are eternally grateful.
