My activity
I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK - DONE IT!!!
I've completed my challenge and clocked up a total of 125.5 miles for the month - or 202km. Thank you so much for all your donations and encouragement. xx
As you may know I sadly lost my lovely mum, Ann, suddenly and unexpectedly in 2024. It was only afterwards that we discovered she had bowel cancer, something neither she nor we had any idea about. Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK and whilst nearly everyone survives bowel cancer if diagnosed at the earliest stage, this drops significantly as the disease develops.
Coming to terms with this has been incredibly difficult for our family and over the past year my mental and physical health has suffered. That’s why I've decided to take on the Active April challenge for Bowel Cancer awareness, to honour my mum, to raise awareness and money to help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.
To make this challenge more meaningful I'm setting a goal based on my mum’s birth date; 19/10/44. I will be walking or horse riding 191.044 km throughout April, which is about 6.4 km every day or 45 km per week (or 4 miles per day in old money...28 miles per wk or 112m for the month. This is a big challenge, not least because I am so unfit, and to schedule around work, but one I'm determined to complete.
I'm not doing a step count; I’ll be doing start and stop exercise sessions which I’ll log on an exercise app so you can see how I'm getting on.
I would be so grateful for your support whether by sponsoring me through my fundraising page, sharing this page, or simply visiting the Bowl Cancer UK website to help spread awareness. The money I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
