100 Miles in May 2025

We've been friends for over 17 years (and counting) we have grown up together and have shared many adventures. Graduating, buying our first homes, getting married, having babies, having more babies and moving house again! One adventure we didn't expect to share together was cancer.

Melanoma has meant more than just multiple surgeries, it took us both a long time to be able to talk to other people about our experience and doing this fund raiser and being more open about our cancer is a huge step for us both.

We were both extremely lucky to catch it early but not everyone is so lucky so... we've decided to take on Melanoma Focus' challenge of walking 100 miles in May to raise funds for Melanoma Focus and SCKIN and raise awareness of skin cancer.

So throughout May we'll be walking, running, traipsing up Bennachie and, if the weather behaves, climbing some munros to build up the miles.

There are so many steps you can take to protect yourself from the risk of Melanoma and to routinely check your skin. Melanoma Focus have some great guidance on their website melanomafocus.org

We'd be really grateful to anyone who can sponsor us for these worth while charities and raise awareness on the importance of checking your skin.
