Walk for A Cure

Jane Cure continued her beloved husband Ade’s legacy by walking the Millennium Way; a gruelling 100 miles across five counties in the Midlands. Jane set off on 8 September and along with several friends completed the walk in just five days. The walkers were greeted in a very emotional end at Middleton Cheney by family and friends. The Cures’ fundraising total for kidney cancer has now exceeded £60,000 and there are plans to make Walk for A Cure a national event in memory of Ade Cure, who died in 2011.
