Childhood cancer is more than just doctor’s appointments, ports, surgeries and radiation. It’s traveling hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles to receive the best treatment. It’s doing everything you can to make your child smile on the tougher days – even when you find it difficult to smile yourself. It’s hospital bills, traveling expenses, meal expenses, and more.

Hello everyone! I am continuing to raise money for EndoFound as I train for the NYC Marathon, and I would be so grateful for donations of any amount. If I don’t raise my minimum amount, I pay for the rest out of pocket, so anything helps! Bonus if your company offers donation matching ☺️ The Endometriosis Foundation of America is a non-profit organization that strives to increase disease recognition, provide advocacy, facilitate expert surgical training, and fund landmark endometriosis research. Without their efforts, it may have taken me longer to discover the signs and symptoms of endometriosis, which lead to my own diagnosis almost 3 years ago. Endometriosis is very common, with about 1 in 10 women experiencing this disease (200 million women worldwide). It is in the top 20 most painful conditions. There is, on average, a 7-10 year delay in diagnosis, and is one of the leading causes of infertility. Endo is often found in the pelvic cavity but has also been found in the kidneys, lungs, diaphragm, and brain. It can cause a wide range of symptoms and is considered a whole-body disease that can greatly reduce quality of life in those who have it. We need more research and advocacy for endometriosis so we can reduce the amount of time it takes to diagnose and treat it. Please consider donating to be part of this change! Anything helps!

Fundraising. Anyone up for Sponsoring me for a great charity. Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike Full Marathon June 2024 Last year's mighty hike marathon was undoubtedly challenging. The hurdles I faced were physically exertion, the mental strain and emotional roller coaster, it was undeniably tough. So why, then, would I willingly subject myself to such a gruelling experience once more? The answer lies in the profound sense of purpose and fulfilment that comes from supporting a cause greater than myself. Despite the hardships, last year's Mighty Hike was also a journey of resilience, camaraderie, and unwavering determination. It was a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and make a difference in the lives of others. So, as I lace up my hiking boots once again, prepare to face the challenges that lie ahead, I want to reach out and ask for your support once again.

***PLEASE READ & SHARE*** Chris & Phil's Tough 🏔Trek To Triumph Over Tumours 🧠 We are cousins Chris and Phil, celebrating a turn of decade with our first ever, very challenging 10-day long distance multi-day 200km mountain trek around the Massif des Ecrins in the French Alps. with a grueling average of 1,200m of up and down every day. A total of 12,000m (40,000ft). Everest is 29,000ft as a comparison. Imagine climbing Ben Nevis every day with your rucksack - except it's harder, because every day, we're also going 20km - 8km further. When are we going? 1st Sept Which charities are we helping? We are raising money to help kids and adults fight horrific brain tumours. The funds we raise will go 50%/50% to The Brain Tumour Charity and brainstrust Why? Chris' father-in-law John Lee died of a brain tumour nearly 10 years ago. He's missed every day by family and friends. Also, a courageous boy Chris knows, Kaiden (Kaiden’s Army) is friends with Ravi of Ravi's Dream - both are fighting their tumours. Both boys were in a choir for Ravi's Dream on Britains got talent. We're doing our fundraiser towards his total to continue to bring awareness and hopefully help all those suffering tumours now and help find more effective cures in the near future. Are we training? Yes, yes, yes! Both of us are hitting the hills as much as possible to condition our hearts, minds and legs. But we don't live near huge mountains. So instead we're doing a mix of 20mile hikes with 600m of up/down and gym work (HIIT and incline treadmill). But we know it's going to hurt and the most important thing is not getting injuries to our feet/ankles/knees. How can you help?

So what lessons can be learnt from completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with Sage colleagues for charity? 1. Setting a goal is not enough if you want to be successful. You have to break down and understand all of the things that you need to achieve to hit the goal. 2. Practice/training massively impacts how successful you will be on the day, or in this case how much pain you will suffer! 3. Self reliance and resilience are important but you will always go further with a supportive team than you can alone.
