Walking in our Fathers footsteps
In memory of our beloved Dad, we wanted to take on a challenge that would be both a tribute to him and raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
So, the 3 of us have decided to take on a 7-day walk stretching over 140 miles. The walk will start at Dad’s graveside in Fogo and will take us on a journey through the Borders and the Lothian’s before finishing in the East Neuk of Fife on what would have been Dad’s 58th Birthday.
On our journey we will be stopping at 12 different places that were important in Dad’s life and will forever remind us of him.
All money donated will be going to Pancreatic Cancer UK to support their research as they work to try and improve the shockingly low survival rate for this type of cancer.
If the money we can raise in doing this walk will make even the smallest positive difference for families like ours who will have a loved one diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, then every step will have been worth it.
Thank you so much for your support. We truly appreciate it.
If you are kind enough to donate then please do leave your name beside your donation so we know who to thank.
