How about spending the late May Bank Holiday weekend taking part in this fundraising challenge event to raise money to support people affected by cancer? You can hike 15, 26 or 50 miles in just 24 hours walking our wonderful Ridgeway from Wallingford to Wantage depending on how much you wish to do. Read today's news story here.
Last year, I had the pleasure of visiting Maggie's Centre at the Churchill hospital site in Oxford to hear all about their plans. At the moment, this is a small support service operating from a portakabin, but needing to relocate to a purpose built Cancer Caring Centre by 2010. I was inspired by the work they are doing to help those in need and they have already raised over £400,000 towards making these Centres become reality.
This will be the third year that Megahikers will be able to strap on their hiking boots and families can all come out in force to support this valuable resource. There are not many of us who aren't touched by either knowing or losing someone dear to us from cancer and the support these Cancer Centres offer are invaluable.
Visit their website here and contact Kirsty on 0845 602 6427 or email kirsty@maggiescentres.org if you wish to find out more about signing up for Saturday 24th May!
