Paul's 30 mile walk on Grand Pier

Thu 15 Aug 2024

My Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. On August 15th I will set out to walk 30 miles around The Grand Pier to celebrate an amazing 30 years of charity fundraising for over 20 charities and hospitals raising over a million. In the process I have made many lifelong friendships and I have enjoyed every minute. It has always given me the utmost satisfaction helping others there is nothing more rewarding and it gives me a buzz and you will never find a more self motivated person than myself. This special milestone event is in aid of Cancer Research UK and was planned at a time when my devoted wife Maureen had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. After a brave fight, Maureen has very sadly lost her battle with this horrible disease recently. She has always been a huge support to me in every possible way and insisted that I see this special milestone through. I want to raise £10,000 for research into all cancers including rare cancers like Maureen's that are untreatable and incurable, and appeal to everyone who supported me over the years to make this an incredible occasion. I would like to thank every single person, company, group, whatever who has supported me from day one during 1994 up to the present so much for all your fantastic loyal support it means the world Appealing to all who have been involved in my events in those 30 years if its possible to come down and join me during the big day for a lap or two. I look forward to seeing you on what will be the pinnacle of my charity journey I want you all to be there if possible helping me complete the mammoth task and complete what will be a memorable historic and emotional day.
