Hi, thanks for visiting our page.
Who's in the team?
Yvonne Banks, Julia Murphy, Alli Campbell, Esther Hughes, Gill Gaskell, Karen Aloe, Gill Crabbe, Nicky McGroarty, Sue Mott, Mandy Stokes-Waters, Sue Taylor and Jess Salmon.
What are we doing?
We're going to walk the full length of Hadrians Wall. That's 84 miles, and we're doing it over just 6 days. So approximately 15 miles each day on very challenging terrain. We're going to get as much training in as we can to avoid our legs feeling like they've had knives stuck in them, but I'm sure its going to be a REALLY tough journey so please offer us your support by donating.
What charity are we doing it for?
For those that didn't know Mark Gorry, he worked at O2 until he was tragically diagnosed with testicular cancer at the tender age of 23. He worked in Technology and helped deliver the torturous job of delivering the Marketing tariff releases. Mark set up 'The Mark Gorry Foundation', so that's who we are raising money for.
Who are The Mark Gorry Foundation?
Also known as ‘The MGF’, the foundation was set up in 2009 by Mark whilst he was being treated for Testicular Cancer. After a year of treatment, Mark went to sleep on the 29th November 2009 aged just 24. Mark set up the foundation with 2 aims in mind. 1 is to encourage men to self check & be aware of the signs & symptoms. The 2nd aim is to raise £1 million for Clatterbridge Cancer centre – the place Mark was treated and also cancer related causes. A team of people work voluntarily to make Marks dream come true.
We would definately encourage you to read more about Marks story here www.themarkgorryfoundation.co.uk
