To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
Support my challenge to fight for a world without pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 84km for the 84 people who die from pancreatic cancer every 3 days in the UK.
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK.
Right now, 31 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day in the UK.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 84km remember those we've lost, and stand with those affected by pancreatic cancer.
Please make a donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.

End of Remember September
Today is the last day of September, and the last day of our challenge. I’m actually feeling quite emotional about it all. We have walked just over 110km, walking each day! I’ve met up with lovely friends for beautiful walks, I’ve walked on my own, finding the time to be just me.
Sunday 27th
Well we did it!! We are currently on 102km over the month, with 3 more days to go. I am beyond proud. As I’ve said before, I didn’t set out to walk every day, but that’s what has happened. I’m on a 27 day streak with my walking app/watch and I just want to keep going. It’s not been easy, I’ve had days where I didn’t want to go, my nerve pain really has flared up at times, but I’ve pushed through and kept going.
16th September
I hit a wall last night. I’d not slept well on Tuesday evening because of my nerve pain, and had woken with it still. I had pain on and off all day, and I felt drained when I left work. I ended up cancelling a longer walk planned with a friend, and walked a different way to collect Logan from an after school club. I logged it, and managed to do 2km. Not great, but I needed to listen to my body. I’m already over target, with only 28km to go with 13 days left to walk.
11 days in!!
11 days into September and I’ve done 11 walks!! 40km done, 44 to go! I’m feeling so much better for getting out there and walking, and it’s certainly helping me sleep at night!!!
Sunday 6th
6th walk done, this time with Logan and Bumble. A lovely 4k, taking us to 20k in 6 days. And on top of that … this was my first walk without pain. Which is unheard of for me. I usually just keep going and try and walk through the pain, which then holds me back, but this walk was beautiful, no pain, I could enjoy it even with Bumble pulling! We walked a little further as we both wanted to get to 4k but I think we could have gone further. I think my body is getting used to it. Oh and no alcohol this weekend 🙌🙌 first weekend done!! Share
Day 2!
Just got back from our second walk, slightly less than 4km but still making good progress! Share
One sleep to go!
Tomorrow is the day we start 💜 we are ready for the challenge. I’m aiming to log a walk each day, some maybe further than others, but we will be chipping away at that 84km, alongside school and work, and all the other things in life. No alcohol shall pass my lips for those 30 days, yes I will miss my Friday night wine, but I’m determined to do this.
Less than 3 weeks to go!
Happy Friday everyone!
