My story
On 13th June, we will be taking on the South Downs 26 miles hiking trek to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. This cause is deeply personal to both of us.
Anna will be hiking in loving memory of her dad, Ivan, who sadly lost his life to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His strength and courage continue to inspire every step of this journey.
Aija is supporting the Hodgkin lymphoma charity because it’s part of her own story. Having faced Hodgkin lymphoma as a teenage girl, she knows firsthand how vital the right support can be — not just for survival, but for hope, recovery, and rebuilding a life. The care, guidance, and compassion provided by cancer support services truly save lives.
Right now, almost 3.5 million people in the UK are living with cancer, and that number continues to rise. Macmillan’s mission is to be there for everyone, from the moment of diagnosis through every part of their journey.
Every donation helps ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.
We’ll be pushing ourselves physically and mentally on this trek, but it’s nothing compared to what so many people go through every day.
If you can, please support us, whether by donating or sharing this page. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us 💛
