I set myself a little challenge for the summer recently… I’m going to be doing the Giant’s Causeway Mighty Hike (full marathon) to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Care at the end of June! It’s something that means a lot to me and of course most of you as well I’d say, so please DONATE if you can!

Unfortunately, Cancer very much runs in my family. I lost my Nana Maggie to Breast Cancer when I was just eight years old. More recently, I lost my Granda Danny to Sepsis, which was a side effect of treatment for Prostate Cancer. Even more recently, my Aunty Cheryl and Granny Dolly were diagnosed and treated for Breast Cancer. And most recent of all, my Aunty Fiona (who is also my godmother) was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma.

It’s a lot of people, but I couldn’t be feeling more excited and pumped for the hike! It’ll definitely be tough in places, but I’m originally from the Causeway Coast and the marathon route is actually my old stomping ground! It’s just the perfect place to show respect and support for my family.

I recently set up a JUST GIVING PAGE to accept donations. All donations over there go directly to Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you so much if you’ve donated already. I’ve been blown away by the response! £250 is the minimum amount I need to raise in order to take part in the Mighty Hike, but I would obviously like to raise a LOT more in order to make a difference!

Please please please donate and share my page if you can folks! It would just mean the world to me.
