Raising money for Parkinson’s UK, Alzheimer's Society and Cancer Research UK

Story

We are Annie, Rob, Oscar and Sarah. We are family and welcome to our "CAP Project"!

Our aim is to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK, Alzheimer's Society and Parkinson's UK.

Our first challenge is: to walk Hadrian's Wall; yes, all 90 (ish) miles of it - in 6 days - 15 miles per day - consecutively!

If you wish to make a donation to any of our three chosen charities, please click on the link to our fundraising page for that charity. Thank you so very much.

In completing this trek, we are inspired by Annie's brother and sisters - some very remarkable people from the King family:

- Shirley Ellerington, dear sister to Annie and aunty to Rob, Oscar and Sarah. Shirley passed with Dementia in July 2020.

- Margaret Brotherton, Annie's remaining sibling (and Aunty to Rob, Oscar and Sarah), who has Parkinson’s disease.

- Dave King, who died in March 2020; dear brother to Annie and dad to Rob, Oscar (in law) and Sarah. Dave had courageously fought Bowel and Liver cancer for seven years.

We are also walking in memory of Mum (or Nanny King), Grandma Wilson and Nicky Tarn.

“It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it.”

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”

“We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.”
