For World Cancer day I am embarking on my first mini walking challenge of the year. My aim is to walk 30 miles in in one week, and when complete I will make a donation to Cancer Research UK.

Each year, hundreds of activities and events take place around the world, gathering communities, organisations and individuals in schools, businesses, hospitals, marketplaces, parks, community halls, places of worship – in the streets and online – acting as a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in reducing the global impact of cancer.
