Story

This year Patrick will be 70 in August so we're undertaking a series of challenges across 2024 to help bring about a world where everybody lives longer, better lives free from the fear of cancer.

Older age is a privilege sadly denied to many people. This year we're planning a special fundraising challenge spread across the year. We'll be celebrating life and, as ever, doing this challenge in memory of Pam and Philip and to raise money for CRUK's world class, live saving research. We regularly remind ourselves how fortunate we are, unlike Pam and Philip, and many others, to be able to do the things we do. We plan to link the challenges to our travels, sometimes visiting some significant places from Patrick's life. We'll always be reminding ourselves how precious life is and how we should make the most of whatever opportunities we are lucky to have.
