In 2016 Liz Gurney very sadly lost her dad Derek to cancer, in his memory she wanted to do something to help families of other cancer sufferers and raise awareness. So she set herself a challenge to raise £10,000 before she turns 40 for us.
So far Lizzie has been set a number of increasingly loony challenges to persuade you good people to part with your cash. So far she has walked the length of the Shropshire Union Canal, lots of runs and walks, has spent the entire of November 2017 dressed as a unicorn amongst lots of other fun events.
The plans for 2018 included Hobby Horse eventing, 9K Open Water swim, 3 peaks challenge and many more.
Liz spent much of 2019 doing more crazy events to raise funds leading up to a wonderful Magical Balls Ball with Mermaids, Unicorns and Dragons!
To date Liz has raised a massive £11,206 and aims to raise more! So if you would like to donate to Lizzies Looney Challenge please do so here
