I'm taking on 100 miles in March for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Hi, thanks so much for visiting my page x

I’m taking on 100 Miles this March for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be completing 100 miles between 1st and 31st March to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer. Most of you know that our lives were thrown upside down when our youngest son, Jake was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour at the age of 12. His resilience inspires me each and every day. Do you know that approximately 10 to 12 children and young people (aged 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK? Sadly, Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children aged 1-14 in the UK. Jake and all children who receive this diagnosis inspire me to do mad challenges like this!

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Young Lives vs Cancer is a UK charity providing specialised holistic support to children and young people (0-25) with cancer and their families. They offer expert social workers to help with emotional, practical, and financial needs, including "Homes from Home" near hospitals, grants for expenses, and support to manage the impact of cancer. Each and every donation is very much appreciated, every penny counts and will help to motivate on those days when my legs and feet are scream 'no!'. I'll be updating this page regularly with my progress.

Please show your support and make a donation 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.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Much love, Lorraine x

Nearly Half way!

Friday 13th Mar
Firstly a massive thank you for everyone's motivational words of support x
I'm not going to lie it's not been easy, juggling work and life and making time to fit in stomping the streets to get in the miles. I was hoping the Spring weather would be kind, but no, it's decided to mainly rain and yesterday felt like walking in a mini hurricane! Well, I'm just about on target, smashing 45 miles so far. I don't think my legs know what has hit them, not bad for an old girl with pins in my right ankle and pelvis holding everything together. July 2023 I had a horrible accident, resulting in a hamstring avulsion (I'll let you google that one) the internal join, although mainly fully healed has started to become a little sore, but I'm determined to keep going. I will hit 100 miles by the end of March! This charity means the world to me. As a family, we know cancer very rarely comes and goes, treatment results in long term repercussions and it's hard as a parent to see your son battling with these, despite the daily bravery and resiliance Jake shows. It's not just about medical side of things, but the mental impact is so tough.
Anyway, if you're able to donate and help make a difference I thank you from the bottom of my heart, it truly means the world to me... as Dory says 'just keep swimming' :) Big love xxx 

12 miles in the bag today

Part power walk & part cycle…. but in a lovely part of the country Dorset/New Forest border. If only it would stop raining!!!! Huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored me to help make a difference. Cancer is shit, but especially shit for those who are diagnosed as children/teenagers/young adults 🥲

Kicking off the challenge a couple of days early!
