43 miles for Candlelighters ❤️
This week, Phil & Scott are walking 43 miles from The Christie Hospital in Manchester to Leeds General Infirmary, raising money for Candlelighters.
It’s a route with huge significance for Phil. His son Alfie received surgery and chemotherapy at LGI, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy at The Christie when he was just 3 years old.
Candlelighters supported Phil and his family throughout Alfie’s treatment, and Scott was a huge support throughout that time too.
They’ll leave The Christie at 3:30am, aiming to reach Leeds around 6:30pm the same day.
If you can support them with a donation, it would be hugely appreciated.
