Walk to Mac
On Friday 1st of March 2019 my beautiful son was killed in a road traffic accident. He was just 23 years old. Sometimes I wonder how I’ve made 5 years without a part of me? 2024 will be 5 years without my boy and I am going to walk the approximately 140 km from my new home in Sedbergh, Cumbria back to Mac’s final resting place, Hey Lane Cemetery, Huddersfield.
I will leave Sedbergh on Friday 23rd of February and arrive on Friday the 1st of March, 5 years to the day that Mac💙 and his dad died.
I will be walking around 20km per day, which I know will get tougher as the days go on. I am raising money for some charities close to my heart and to Macs (see below).
Any amount you can donate is wonderful and so very much appreciated by me and the charities.
Love and Thanks,
Mac’s Mum & Mac💙 xxx

Hi Rachael, we follow your daughter on social media and have been extremely touched my your story & courage. Using adventure to honour your son is truly moving and inspirational. When Adam lost his mum 5 years ago, he read a quote that really helped him - “grief is a like a backpack. It never gets any lighter, you just get better at carrying it”. Sending you love & what wonderful charities you’ve chosen!! Your son would be proud of you!! 💛
