Event: Lake District Mighty Hike 2024 - half marathon, on 16 June 2024
We're hiking a half or full marathon in the stunning Lake District in June 2024 to raise vital funds for people living with cancer.

Story

A dear friend Lizzie has been heroically going through a myriad of cancer treatments since August 2023… she is a hero! It has been quite the journey, through surgery, chemo, radio and all sorts of appointments in between, along with three small children under five.

In support of her and celebration of her courage and characteristic positivity throughout, we are hiking (Lizzie along with some friends) a half marathon distance in the Lake District in June!

Zac wants to join the effort so is going to be walking a special 5 mile loop walk from Lizzie's home to Richmond on the same weekend (as children need to be 16 to join the main walk).

MacMillan have been a great support to her throughout and so we together are keen to give back and raise money for other people also going through cancer treatment.

We have each pledged to raise £500 and would appreciate any support in reaching this. By fundraising this pledge, we could each pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for four days who could provide emotional, practical and financial advice to someone affected by cancer.
