Why take part?
Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation’s 100 Miles in March allows participants to support the charity, whilst also helping the grieving process by coming together and talking about our loved ones who are no longer with us.
Laura Mackenzie was 23 when she was diagnosed with lung cancer and she was determined to make the most out of her life, spending her last few months dedicated to raising awareness of lung cancer.
After her diagnosis, Laura founded Pink Mackenzie which aimed to raise funds for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and since she passed in 2008, her family and friends have taken pride in continuing her legacy. In 2018, the group set themselves their biggest challenge yet – a coast to coast walk from Hull to the head office of Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation in Liverpool.

Grief is a personal journey and affects everyone differently. Some of us may want to remember someone who is sadly missed on our own at a special place, while others may take comfort in sharing the experience with other people.
Sign up to our 100 Miles in March today and remember those closest to you in a place that is special to you.
