Final Summary. Distance 111 miles. Ascent 14,181 ft or 4322 mtrs. Great week lots of banter and laughs along the way, 3 blokes who support different teams etc. Met some decent folk, some great and good, food and beers too. So far, we've raised £851.00 plus £207.75 gift aid, so broke the £1000 mark in total, with a few more promises of donations to come. Finally thanks to anyone who donated and apologies if I've not said thanks either on here or via pm, we had 3 anonymous donations, one I think I know who it was, but if any of them are you, then thank you, it would be good to get a pm from you if so, just to know who you are.
We're back out again on Monday, I've been out with both of them individually but first time we've managed to get out together since.
You can't beat being out in the wilds with great banter along the way and some good beer at the end of it.
As with dementia and mental health policies, the government have now backtracked on their 10 year cancer pledge. Please sign the linked petition to get something done about it. There is an open letter link on the petition you can read, explaining it. https://action.cancerresearchuk.org/page/119502/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=8nt9v9fj Thanks in advance
Done .........the health of our nation over tanks for nazi Ukraine for me.......keep up the good work
I guess I was just making a point I must have been away when you put this up. Hope it went well for you all
https://news.sky.com/story/new-canc...just-weeks-of-radioactive-injections-13243498 A good few of you donated to this walk and the previous one, just thought I'd just share this to let you know what those donations are achieving. Thanks to all.
Up at 6 yesterday, 500 mile round trip to Plymouth, as we had an invite to the Brain Tumour research centre to witness the work they do, firstly we placed 8 tiles on the 'wall of hope', each tile representing £2740 raised by us,which equates to one day's research, some of it due to the generosity of the folk on here, thanks again all. We had an indepth tour to show us what they are doing to try and alleviate this ****ing awful disease, what was really inspiring was how many of the scientists/ researchers give their time for free, the one lady Sylvia, who was our guide, works 30 hours somewhere else to give her an income, then works between 20 and 30 hours a week there for no income, such is her passion to beat it. I think most of us probably think these people work 37.5 hrs a week for £100k plus salaries but nothing could be furthur from the truth. Long but very informative day.
