The Pendle Way
Fri, 1 Oct 2021 - Sun, 31 Oct 2021
We're walking the Pendle Way to raise money for Cancer Research UK
In memory of
My beautiful and adored wife Debs X
24th Nov 1976 - 9th Jun 2021
My Story
Thank you for visiting our Fundraising Page. Earlier this year we received the devastating news that what had seemed to be IBS for Debs was in fact stage 4 Cancer, Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, Cancer of the bile duct. Despite the best efforts of doctors and nurses, it progressed really quickly and we lost Debs early in June, leaving me widowed and Aaron & Annabelle without their beloved Mummy. One of the things that gave Debs comfort despite the terrible situation was that her samples were part of a trial with the Christie hospital and the knowledge that, even though it was too late for us, that she may play a part in helping to defeat this horrendous, cruel disease. We would like to try and bring something positive out of our personal tragedy and raise lots of money for Cancer research in Debs memory to support the amazing scientists working hard to improve the outcomes for everyone touched by cancer. As a family we had always planned to walk the Pendle way, a 45 mile trail around our beautiful local area, but it was one of those things that we never managed to do and so, the kids and I plan on completing the footpath over 4 weekends in the hope of earning lots of money for this wonderful cause. Thank you for reading through this and we hope that you will consider sponsoring us to complete the pathway, all donations are hugely appreciated, no matter how much. Peace & Love Simon, Aaron & Annabelle
