In June 2024, I am taking on a 26 mile Mighty Hike in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park to raise vital funds for people living with cancer.
This will be my 4th Mighty hike, as part of a team founded by my sister who managed to complete 2 of these herself whilst living with incurable cancer and receiving invaluable care from Macmillan. She sadly passed away earlier this year and we’ve named our team after her mantra for life - stubbornly glad (inspired by the poem ‘A brief for the defense’ by Jack Gilbert).
I have set my goal at double the required pledge of £250 on the basis that I’d like to raise enough for both of us. If she were here, I know she’d still be hiking, still fundraising passionately for the charity she was so thankful for. I would be incredibly appreciative of any support in reaching this goal. By fundraising my pledge, I could help pay for a Macmillan Support Worker who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone affected by cancer.
