My story
🤩I’ve signed up to a challenge which is going to feed my soul! I’ve had quite a couple of years on the personal front. I’ve been wanting to do a long walk for a while as I transition through the end of the house renovation to normal life beyond and move into the future and all the possibilities that lie ahead. I signed up as soon as I saw this opportunity for the Mighty Hike in Northumberland on 5th September. And I’m doing it just as me which is going to be amazing!
😍Too many of my family members have had cancer so this is an issue close to my heart. We have holidayed many times along this coastline so it will be a very special to combine walking in this beautiful spot with fundraising for cancer.
🚶♀️I haven’t walked 26 miles before so this is a big challenge for me. I wasn’t the sporty child at school, in fact I really didn’t like sport. I was the person almost off the edge of the hockey pitch looking very purple with cold in the Scottish winters and not wanting to hit the ball. Music was more my thing. However, I do love walking and I loved the long walks I did as a Brownie or a Guide. I lived in Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains in Canada for a summer and I used to climb to the top of the mountain before work each day. I love the open space, the quiet, the wind buffeting in your ears, the sound of the sea, the bird song - no need for a headphones, just listening to nature around you. I’m walking an hour every morning with longer ones planned. I’m so lucky to live by the sea and have my mile markers defined by points on the coast line.
✨I’m doing this one on my own as you always have more of an adventure when you’re on your own. You meet new people, get out of your comfort zone more and just have more fun.
🥾If anyone would like to join me on one of my training walks, whether it’s an hour long or three or four hours long, please do let me know. come along for the journey.
I’m taking on the Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, because no one should have to face cancer alone.
Today, almost 3.5 million people in the UK are living with cancer, a figure that's growing steadily. Macmillan’s goal is to be there from diagnosis through every step of the journey.
That’s where we come in.
Your donation, no matter the size, will help ensure that no one has to face cancer without the care, compassion, and expert support they deserve.
Together, we can make a Mighty difference.
