Myself and my husband, Andrew Tullin, are taking on this challenging 26 mile SW coast path walk from Lands End to Praa Sands on the 22nd of November (yes all in one day) for my Mum, Yvonne Memmott! She was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer over Christmas last year and ever since has constantly been in and out of hospital. She has got through chemo, sepsis, a crazy amount of chest drains, a permanent drain, which then got a serious infection and ended up with mum having to go back in hospital. She's in constant pain and needs a wheelchair to get out and about. Her next fight against this horrid disease is a operation in Plymouth to remove all the fluid surrounding her lungs (most of the time mum only has 20% lung capacity) and fit a plug to try and stop the lung refilling, then, as that isn't already enough for one person to go though, she has to endure a second round of chemo, due to the cancer spreading again.

We decided on doing such a gruelling fundraiser to try and raise more money for this fantastic charity. As my mum is showing such strength and determination to fight this, I wanted to take on a challenge that would reflect her determination. This amazing charity funds lifesaving research for everyone affected by ovarian cancer. Every pound we raise will help ground breaking research into better prevention, diagnosis and treatments for ovarian cancer.
