I’ve always wanted to do this trip and doing it to support Macmillan Cancer Support makes it so worthwhile. “One of my daughter’s friends is still undergoing treatment, but the others have all come through it and they’re OK. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma affects young people and it’s been horrible to see Stephanie’s friends and their families live through the uncertainty. That’s why when she suggested doing something in support, I wanted to pitch in. “We have to raise over £8,000 so will be thinking of ideas to help part people from their cash painlessly.” Follow their big trek to Peru on Facebook. www.balls2marketing.co.uk To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com
