Story

I never imagined when walking the Macmillan Jurassic Coast Hike a few years ago in memory of my mother, that I would be doing another hike in 2023 having lost Nick to cancer last year. 

Cancer sucks, never more so than when it leaves more young children without a parent. Nick was a wonderful dad, friend and partner and was much loved. He didn't deserve any of what he had to endure. The work that Macmillan nurses do to take the load off our depleted National Health Service makes such a difference to Cancer sufferers and their families.

I'm older and a lot less fit than last time, and I know this walk is going to hurt! Please support us by donating to a worthy cause. Thank you.
