Walking for George Jackson

In May  it will have been a year since we said goodbye to our dear Dad. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August 2022 and 10 months later he died. In that time he underwent a massive surgery, a prolonged ICU stay and then chemotherapy. Despite everything the cancer was just too aggressive. He didn’t have a lot of symptoms and we thought that it had been caught early. 10 months was far too short a time to have had with him, to say the things we wanted to say and to make sure that everything was organised for Mum. 
To mark the year, a group of us have decided to take on the Lyke Wake Walk. This is a walk that Dad, a proud Yorkshireman, had always planned to do but sadly never got the chance. 42 miles will take us from Osmotherley where Dad lived for a time, across the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors and ending at Ravenscar on the North Sea Coast. We will walk, we will remember and we will hopefully raise lots of money for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Please support us if you can.
