Immaculate’s story
We are delighted to share Immaculate raised over £4,500 for Oracle Cancer Trust and Second Chance Head and Neck Cancer Group. Immaculate walked 158.38 miles (254.88 Km) in 32 days, a true inspiration!
“My son, Chris researched many charities and based on the information your website provides, recommended this to be our chosen charity because of your specific mission to improve outcomes, raise awareness, and support those affected by head and neck cancers.
This is particularly important to me given my own personal journey. You strive for a future where everyone has the best chance of survival. I have experienced it and am still recovering from it.”
