Trek This City

In the UK, cancer mortality rates remain higher than for any other disease. Although the majority of those affected are over 65, cancer rates are increasing most rapidly amongst younger adults.

Trekstock is a UK charity providing wellbeing support services for those in their 20s or 30s diagnosed with, living with and surviving any type of cancer. As a trustee, I will be walking in the Trek This City campaign on 6 July. My involvement with Trekstock was purely a matter of chance and the conversation that I had with the founder convinced me of the impact the charity had with an historically under-supported age group of cancer survivors. Perhaps most moving was hearing one of Trekstock’s ‘ambassadors’ (a cancer survivor) describing how the challenge of beating cancer was only half-over when she had been given the ‘all clear’. Trekstock is a small charity, and every contribution makes a huge difference.

If you’d like to support this event you can do so here - Trekstock Just Giving – with the amount donated being matched by L&G, it will make a huge difference.
