Thames Path Mighty Hike 2025 - half marathon · 26 July 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Set yourself an exciting new challenge and hike a full or half marathon down the iconic Thames Path to raise vital funds for people living with cancer.

Story

Josh's family and I are raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of his auntie, Katy, who sadly passed away last month. We'll be walking the Thames Path Mighty Hike to do this. Please see the below written by her daughter, Charlotte.

There's no pressure to donate, but any support is greatly appreciated.

On February 5th, my lovely mum, Katy Hill, lost her battle with cancer. She was an inspiration to everyone who knew her, facing her diagnosis with incredible strength and determination. We are heartbroken by her loss, but in her memory, I want to do something positive.

For those who knew my Mum, you'll remember her as a kind and caring person. She was also a nurse, dedicating many of her younger years to caring for others. To give someone the gift of a Macmillan nurse in her memory would be truly special.

On July 26th, alongside some of my closest family members, I will be taking on the Thames Path Mighty Hike—a 13-mile challenge—to honour my mum and raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

My mum didn't live in the UK, and my dad cared for her full-time. Having witnessed firsthand the impact of cancer, I know how valuable a Macmillan nurse would have been—not just for my mum but for our entire family. These nurses provide essential medical, emotional, and practical support to those facing cancer, making an incredibly difficult time that little bit easier.

We are aiming to raise £3,250 as a team (£250 per person taking part), which could fund a Macmillan Nurse for 13 days, giving crucial support to patients and their loved ones.

Today, 3 million people in the UK are living with cancer. Macmillan’s goal is to be there for every single one of them, but they rely entirely on donations.

If you can, please donate—every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you for your kindness and support, it honestly means the world!

Love

La família del Josh i jo estem recaptant diners per a Macmillan Cancer Support en memòria de la seva tieta, Katy, que malauradament ens va deixar el mes passat. Caminarem el Thames Path Mighty Hike per fer-ho. A continuació, podeu llegir unes paraules escrites per la seva filla, Charlotte.

No hi ha cap pressió per donar res, però estaríem molt agraïts amb qualsevol aportació que poguéssiu fer.

El 5 de febrer, la meva estimada mare, la Katy Hill, va perdre la seva batalla contra el càncer. Va ser una inspiració per a tothom que la va conèixer, afrontant el seu diagnòstic amb una força i determinació increïbles. Estem devastats per la seva pèrdua, però en la seva memòria, vull fer alguna cosa positiva.

Per aquells que vau conèixer la meva mare, la recordareu com una persona amable i afectuosa. També era infermera i va dedicar molts anys de la seva joventut a cuidar els altres. Poder oferir a algú el regal d’una infermera de Macmillan en la seva memòria seria realment especial.

El 26 de juliol, juntament amb alguns dels meus familiars més propers, afrontaré el Thames Path Mighty Hike—un repte de 13 milles—per honorar la meva mare i recaptar fons essencials per a Macmillan Cancer Support.

La meva mare no vivia al Regne Unit, i el meu pare la cuidava a temps complet. Haver viscut de prop l'impacte del càncer em fa saber com hauria estat valuosa una infermera de Macmillan—no només per a la meva mare, sinó per a tota la nostra família. Aquestes infermeres proporcionen suport mèdic, emocional i pràctic essencial a les persones que afronten el càncer, fent que un moment increïblement difícil sigui una mica més fàcil.

El nostre objectiu és recaptar 3.250 £ com a equip (250 £ per persona participant), que podrien finançar una infermera de Macmillan durant 13 dies, oferint suport crucial als pacients i als seus éssers estimats.

Avui dia, 3 milions de persones al Regne Unit viuen amb càncer. L’objectiu de Macmillan és ser-hi per a cadascun d’ells, però depenen completament de les donacions.

Si podeu, si us plau, feu una donació—cada aportació, gran o petita, marca la diferència.

Gràcies per la vostra amabilitat i suport, significa realment molt per a nosaltres!

Amb amor,

Charlotte x
