My target 24 mi

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.


My lovely Dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. He had excellent care and treatment from the NHS before finally leaving us. I’d like to do something to raise some funds for research and walk a mile a day through May. If you would like to sponsor me then please do.

My donations could fund...

19 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

8 hours of early diagnosis research

My Updates

Final walk

Bank Holiday Monday was the final mile around Stowe Pool. So pleased to finish in front of the Cathedral. Sticks raised in victory.

Sunday 24th Night walk

Last night was quite an evocative night. Lighting, sunset and the one I love. last but one walk for my Milathon

Sat 23rd Garden day

Today was a day that I spent a lot on my feet. Mostly at garden centres and then potting and planting. Ended up being one of the days with the most steps and therefore most miles.

Fri 22nd. Stowe pool walk part 2.

As enjoyed this walk on Wednesday so repeated some of it tonight. This time with the camera. Took in the development of the Old Picture House. Lichfield does have some beautiful buildings.

Lunchtime stroll

Thursday lunchtime. On duty at work so office bound. Glad to be able to get out  at lunchtime for a circuit of the park

20th First trip to Stowe Pool

Walked from Cathedral down Reeve Lane and across to Stowe Pool. It was a beautiful stroll. Crossed over the pedestrian bridge to Bromford Housing and through the estate there. Some really pretty old timbered houses in amongst the not so attractive 1950s/60s housing. Back into town past 1709. Forgot the camera so will do the trip again.

18th/19th/ Back to work

Had last week off so any walks have been shorter but surprisingly enough I still clocked up enough steps to make a mile. They were just more boring and so no photos

16th/17th May Woodland walk in Beacon Park, Peace woodland and Darwin House

Lovely walk today with the dogs around the edge of Beacon Park, through the Woodland Walk, Chris was doing a run so we picked him up at the edge of the path which goes around the back of the golf course and next to allotments and back into Peace woodland. A nice day to sit for a while and look up Dads name again. Back through Darwin House Garden, the Climbing Rose is just beautiful.

14/15 May

Didn't walk  much on the 14th but 15th made up for it around the Cathedral Close again and lots of walking around a garden centre and though to my garden many times. Legs certainly ached that day.

13th May. 3rd Wedding Anniversary

Todays walk was around Aldridge reminiscing about our wedding day. Stared at the Church Centre where reception was held, into the graveyard where great Grandmother is buried, walk over Cricket field, back via The Bonner memorial garden to Aldridge's Victoria Cross recipient, into the church, over the Croft and then the more boring stretch in the town. Photos included.

12th May International Nurses Day

Today was a baking day so the walking was backwards and forwards across the kitchen and a dog walk in The Close. It soon clocked up the miles. Monday  I had cleaned the oven. Thought it a good idea to clean the plate glass in the door and unscrewed the glass only the catch fell out. Wonder how long before the M and I technicians re open. Facebook has the nurse projections on today

Sunday 10th May

This was an evening walk around Lichfield city. Just as we walked out we stumbled on the projections being played onto the Cathedral front which were being photographed for International Nurses day on the Tuesday.  City was very quiet

9th May 2020

As didn't walk out too far yesterday walked out twice today. Four times round the Cathedral close is about a mile and half. Even chatted about best place to get milk with the local m.p.

VE day 8th May 2020

No separate walk but so  many trip to kitchen and garden t set up for picnic that it soon clocked up over a mile

Peace Woodland Walk and dads name at memorial

Tuesday night we walked Beacon Park across to the peace Garden. One of the photos points to Ron Woolley's name on the Peace Garden plaque, who was my dad whom I lost to Pancreatic cancer. I am doing this in his memory. It also shows my first husband Andrew who I lost to Brain Tumours.

Tis walk took a bit longer, bit pained and I also lost the end to my walking pole. Oh dear,

04.05.2020 T shirt arrived

I was excited to open my fundraising T shirt today. Intend to wear it each time I walk the mile. 

Chris did his fundraising run for the Cathedral today. 26 laps well done and I then followed with my 4 laps of Cathedral for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
