Story

At some point sadly everyone's life is touched by cancer in some way but many people don't know about Macmillan or appreciate them until that happens.  

Help me fix that please. 

Please sponsor my 5 day trek from the Dead Sea to Petra  where I'll be scrambling around like a nervous mountain goat and dragging myself over ridges..... facing ascents similar to Scarfell more than once!  The days are long and very hard - wouldn't be a challenge otherwise :) 

Yes I'll be proper roughing it, camping out every night armed with my little "pooh trowel" and dodging scorpions ( apparently "only the 7 poisonous types out there, wife" ). No showers but apparently I get some bog roll - whoopee.

Baking hot days and freezing cold nights await me. 

Every penny helps so please donate what you can and spread the word by sharing my page to every person you know. 

The wonderful people at Macmillan did so much for my mum Ursula and stepdad Pete who were both taken by cancer in 2018 ( just a few months apart).  What people often forget is how much they also do for friends and family - they are truly amazing, 

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
