Story

Good Day All.........I wanted to share with you a fundraising event I am part of, along with three of my close friends, this coming July 20th.

Myself, Jim Sykes Robin Martin and Brian Waltham along with many others, will be attempting the Peak District Half Marathon Mighty Hike, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

We have huge admiration for the tireless work that Macmillan do for all that are affected by this hideous disease and are therefore trying to raise money for their continued success and care.

We are taking on a Half Marathon Mighty Hike through the beautiful and dramatic Peak District National Park to raise vital funds for people living with cancer.

We have formed a team, called 'The Dodo's' which is part of a larger group of friends, most of which have either been affected directly or indirectly by cancer. As a group of men 'of a certain age'.....we have known each other for many years and have very sadly recently lost a very dear friend to cancer and some of the group are still fighting their own personal battles against this awful disease. We used to play football together in our younger years, now we play golf together and in July 2024, some of The Dodo's will be hiking together!

Please donate what you can, however large or small. We are a small cog in a huge machine, so every little helps. Thanks in advance.

We have each pledged to raise £250 and would really appreciate any support in reaching this. By fundraising our pledge, we could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker, who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone affected by cancer.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on 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.
