Walk For A Cure - Anywhere 2026

We did it!!!

Yesterday - 19th Sept - we 'walked our own way'...26.5 miles along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

The weather was unkind to us.  We got wet and cold.
At times, we were tired and grumpy, and couldn't feel our feet from mile 12.  Our hips and knees had their own agendas. 

Here are some photos from the start, the middle and the end and the strava log.

Today, we recover, still in pain. 

Thank you for all your donations...every single one.
(Will anybody be so kind as to get us to the £1,000 mark 🙏🏻 (only £1 needed)). 

Will post the certificate with the final amount in 7 days.

Much love. 🧡

Almost time....

Sharon, Leigh, Emma & Tamsin will brave over 26 miles on Saturday 19th September as they walk from Cherry Tree Train station, along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, through to Barrowford.  With extremely limited facilities along the canal this will be a test to all and we expect this to take us between 10 and 11 hours.
