⭐⭐ Marathon Hike to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support ⭐⭐
💰 Donate 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWJpTbjp
Following the success and generosity of everyones help raising £1755 for MacMillan Cancer Support last year on a marathon trek across the Cornish coastline, I'll be Donating a Day this year on 31st August to complete another!
...and clearly someone at MacMillan got the hint as they have a properly sponsored and organised "Mighty Hike" this time, vs last year with just me, a mate, a backpack and high winds.
💕 About MacMillan
Your help is hugely appreciated and any donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference to someone living with cancer. With 1 in 2 of us getting the big C at some point in our lifetime, one way or another it touches all of us. As someone who's lived through that myself (as you may know from my fund raiser last year) - if you know someone living with the C right now, there are many ways you can help from a cup of coffee, to a listening ear, to help with small things around the house. With treatment being so tiring, even a home cooked meal can make a real difference to someone's day - trust me.
🚶♂️ The Walk
Last year I picked a route close to my home down in Looe through to Charlestown near St Austell. This year, Macmillan have a "properly" organized trek route including stewards, medical staff, drinks and snacks at pit stops. Could have done with that last year at about mile 15! The route starts in Padstow and runs along the coast, through Mawgan Porth and finishing in Newquay.

⌛ Last Year
9 hours, 33 minutes, 42 seconds - 27 miles, enough elevation to do Ben Nevis, storm force 50mph winds and wet and muddy. Zero training and almost busted my hip in the process.
⌛ This year
Who knows? - 24 miles, about half the elevation, and hopefully dry... I type that while looking out the window at torrential rain. I'm on a calorie counting diet at the moment, but similarly poor general fitness.
Anyway - I really appreciate your support, and please do think of those in your life affected by the Big C.

3wThis is such an amazing initiative by Jet's Pizza, M3S Sports, and Roosters Wings to support cancer patients through the OhioHealth Foundation. It's heartwarming to see the community come together to provide funding for such an important treatment like scalp cooling therapy. This donation will definitely make a difference in the lives of those going through chemotherapy. Thank you for sharing this inspiring news!
