Rounded Rectangle:

Completers          
Rounded Rectangle: Here is Kevin Piper and Dave Johnson who completed the main Macmillan Way earlier this year. Kevin and Dave were sponsored for their efforts and raised £4,470 for Macmillan Rounded Rectangle: Neville Huggins and his wife Christine walked The Macmillan Way in stages between 2005 and 2008. This was a tremendous achievement for Christine during the latter stages as she had been diagnosed with cancer. Neville has kindly sent us the diary that he kept about their walk together. We hope to publish this soon as a tribute to Christine who has since died. A memorial service to celebrate Christine’s life raised over £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support Rounded Rectangle: Here we see Jenny Davidson on Chesil Beach together with her dog Swift. Both Jenny and Swift completed all 290-miles from Boston in just 12-days. Jenny raised over £6,000 for Macmillan which to date is a record amount for a lone walker. Also pictured is Sue Garfitt who kept Jenny company on two of the days. Since walking the Macmillan Way in 2003 Jenny has created her own LDP, Shakespeare’s Avon Way, an 88-mile route that follows the course of the River Avon from the source to it’s confluence with the River Severn. Jenny now manages The Macmillan Ways network having taken over the reigns when the founder, Peter Titchmarsh, retired.
