Rother Radio Xmas Love Local, Love Music!
One of the teams participating in this year’s walk is led by Jackie and Stuart Towers, walking in loving memory of their daughter, Felicity. Felicity bravely battled breast cancer in 2017 and was cared for with compassion by the staff at Weston Park Cancer Centre. Despite ringing the bell following her initial treatment, the cancer returned, and Felicity spent her final days at Weston Park before transferring to St Luke’s Hospice, where she passed away seven days later.
“Felicity was such a positive person,” shares Jackie. “She loved her ‘Irregular Choice’ shoes and wore a different pair for each of her treatments to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Her dedication even caught the attention of the Sheffield Star. It would have been Felicity’s 40th Birthday on the 23rd of September so it’s quite poignant to her school friends. It’s also mine and Stuart’s 50th wedding anniversary year, two celebrations that she will sadly miss.”
Jackie, Stuart and Felicity’s friends, including childhood pals Sheridan Buckley and Vicky Exton, are rallying together to participate in “Walk as One 2024.” They aim to keep Felicity’s memory alive and raise funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity.
The event will feature multiple walking routes (10-mile, 4-mile, and 2-mile) through scenic Endcliffe Park, along with live music, dance performances, children’s activities, and a reflective area for participants to honour loved ones affected by cancer. Food and drink will be provided by Sophie’s Coffee and Cakes, Thornbridge Brewery, and more.
Registration for “Walk as One 2024” is open now! Visit https://www.westonpark.org.uk/events/walk-as-one-2024 to sign up and start fundraising.
