November was supposed to be a simple walking challenge.
The problem? I come from a family whose primary hobbies are eating, drinking, and discussing where we're eating and drinking next.
So naturally, I recruited my siblings.
What started as "Let's do a walking challenge together!" quickly became:
- "Does walking to the pub count?"
- "Can I get extra steps for carrying snacks?"
- "I've walked 8 miles today. Reward: a pint."
Somehow we've gone from a family that tracks restaurant reservations to a family that tracks step counts. It's confusing for everyone involved.
Will we complete the challenge? Maybe.
Will we celebrate with food and drinks regardless? Absolutely.
We’re walking 60 Miles in November for Young Lives vs Cancer.
We’ll be walking 60 Miles from 1st to 30th November to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.
Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change.
But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.
Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.
Thank you for your support.
