This event is not about a finisher’s medal, an event T–shirt or the buzz of the crowd cheering you on. It’s not even about sore feet, aching limbs or the frustration of getting lost. It’s a personal challenge, both in terms of the event itself and the fund raising that goes with it.
My chosen charities for this years event are Macmillan Cancer Support and The Knight Foundation, although individuals can choose to walk for any charity of their choice.
Macmillan

Their primary goal is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer, providing practical, medical, emotional and financial support and push for better cancer care.
