Why I want to raise funds for The Marsden

On 13 Sept I'm walking 26.2 miles to raise money for The Royal Marsden Cancer hospital, helping to fund life-saving research and supporting world-leading treatment and care.  

The Marsden is a special me as they treated my mum in 2017 and continue to treat my sister, eight years after her diagnosis. I’m so grateful to the hospital for the treatment and care they’ve given my family, so now I have the chance to support them in return.  

Cancer affects us all in some way; in the UK more than a 1,000 people are diagnosed with cancer revery day. We need breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment more than ever.  Please help me so they can continue their fantastic work, providing treatment, care and research.  Thank you.

15 mile training walk - tick

Tuesday 8th Sep
Second training walk completed on Sunday - 15 miles across the North Kent Downs. What did I learn? 1) 15 miles is a long way! 2) It’s better to start earlier in the day 3) Never underestimate how much water you need to drink on these long walks! 

I also learnt that when your body starts to moan your mind needs to kick in - positive thinking, determination and remembering why your doing this is very important. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far, the response has been fantastic and I’m incredibly grateful. 

The real 26.2 mile trek is next Sunday 13th so I’m eagerly scanning the weather forecast this week.  

I’ll update again soon!

10 mile training walk - tick

Tuesday 1st Sep
My fellow Big Trek warrior and I did a 10 mile training walk on the weekend as preparation for the 26.2 mile challenge on 13 Sept. What did I learn? 1) Walking and talking in countryside with one of your oldest and best friends is therapy, 2) My glute muscles need more up hill practice, 3) 26.2 miles is a really really long way to walk, 4) I will dig deep in the tough miles as this is my way of saying thank you to the Marsden for the care they’ve shown my family.
