Club member Vicki Wilson will be taking on the Cancer Research UK Big Hike. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Vicki shared why she is taking on the challenge:
"I am doing this hike for a cause that means so much to me.
Like so many of you, my life has been shaped by cancer—through the people I love and the experiences we carry.
On a personal note, my lovely mum died the day before my 9th birthday, at just 40 years old. Even now, 43 years later, I feel her loss every single day.
I’m also doing this for my father-in-law, John, who recently faced cancer with incredible strength and dignity.
And for the friends and colleagues who continue to inspire me - Katie and Liz, whose courage through gruelling treatments and surgeries has been nothing short of remarkable.
As well as those still in the midst of it - Wendy, Lou and Joe—truly amazing people who keep showing up every day despite the uncertainty and the toll that treatment takes.
This hike is for all of them.
And the sheer entertainment value of a chunky unfit woman trying not to die while hiking 13 miles with no training is not to be underestimated!
If you’re able to support, any donation—big or small—will go towards vital cancer research and is deeply appreciated."
