Walk 60 Miles in November 2026

I’m walking 60 Miles in November for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be walking 60 Miles in November, from the 1st to the 30th, 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. 


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.

❤️ Why I’m fundraising for Young Lives vs Cancer

Sunday 4th Oct
This is a cause that is incredibly close to my heart, because cancer is something my family has experienced firsthand. Many years ago, I lost my brother to cancer, and the pain and heartbreak that cancer can bring to a family is something I understand very, very well. It changes lives in ways that are difficult to put into words, and the effects can stay with you for years.

That is why supporting Young Lives vs Cancer means so much to me. No child, young person or family should have to face cancer alone. Young Lives vs Cancer provides practical, emotional and financial support to young people and their families, helping them through some of the hardest moments imaginable.

Having personally experienced what cancer can do to a family, I know just how important it is to have people there to support you, to listen, and to help when everything feels overwhelming.

I’m fundraising in memory of my brother, and for every young person and family currently facing cancer. 💙

Every donation, no matter how big or small, can help make a difference. If you’re able to donate or even just share my fundraiser, I would be incredibly grateful.

For my brother. For the families facing cancer today. And for a future where no young person has to face cancer alone. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. 🙏
