At least 1 in 3 people is touched with Cancer in some form during their life. Every two minutes someone is diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Therefore this walk is for all of them and their families.

Sadly my lovely courageous wife Pat lost have braveand long cancer battle on Friday 10th February 2012. David & Alison Downey are running the Inverness Half Marathon in Pat's memory on Sunday 11 March to raise money for Macmillian Cancer Suppport.

THIS IS PART OF THE FAMOUS POEM 'FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND'. THIS SAYS IT ALL ABOUT THIS WALK.                       ( " Footsteps of Faith").

 

So I said to the Lord,      

 "You promised me Lord,       

  that if I followed you,              

you would walk with me always.                    

But I have noticed that during                           

  the most trying periods of my life                                 

      there have only been one                                       

           set of footprints in the sand.                                          

       Why, when I needed you most,                                          

 you have not been there for me?"                                    

The Lord replied,                          

      "The times when you have                   

           seen only one set of footprints,           

                 is when I carried you."
