Tracey Howe

On 1st November 2024 I will be embarking on an epic journey, walking 5000 miles around the coast of Britain, with my dog Poppy, we are calling this TraceysTrek. It will take me 12 months walking on average 20 miles a day in all weathers (snow, gales, heat, rain, hail, floods) and terrains (beaches, sand dunes, cliffs, busy roads) and will involve crossing rivers and estuaries and avoiding or crossing MOD firing ranges and fields of cows!! During this time, I will be living in a van!!

WHY - My wife Angela of 37 years recently died aged only 58 and my sister-in-law currently has breast cancer. Our retirement plan was to tour the UK in a van but now I am grieving and going to be doing it on my own. TraceysTrek will help raise awareness of cancer with 100% of funds raised going to the following cancer charities who gave us tremendous support during Angela’s illness.

• The Beatson
• Marie Curie
• The Brainstrust
• Breast cancer now
• CoppaFeel
