Sussex man will be walking 100 miles for cancer charity
In September I will be walking 100 miles for Cancer Research UK. I lost my mother in october 2024 to Breast cancer and have close friends who have family members suffering with Cancer as we speak so to me its important to be able to do this in memory of my late mum but also for my friends
I will be walking the Hadrians wall in 6 days and then traveling to London the next day to complete the Shine night Half marathon walk.
Having lost my mother in October 2024 to cancer and have close friends have family suffering with cancer I am determined to challenge myself more and more, to make them feel supported.
I've made several changes to my life since mum passed and one of them involves focusing on my mental and physical fitness.
Challenging myself has always been something I've wanted to do and this feels like a great one to do. I'm aiming to raise £500 for cancer research in the process.
I know she would be proud of me to see myself do this. Mum supported me through her life as any mother would and she left a mark upon me of wanted to do good not just for me but for other as well.
Two friends who have support me through the worst time of my life have members of their families suffering with cancer, I've heard their stories and support them as they have to me, so for me its the least I can do to make them feel supported along with my family.
I walked Hadrian's' in 2018 along with my dad which at the time was the greatest achievement for me. Since then I've lost 7 stone in weight and feel more confident both physically and mentally that i can complete this monumental challenge i have set myself.
