Tracey Howe is taking on a challenge to walk the coast of Britain to raise money for Cancer Charities.
Tracey, a 61-year-old former Physiotherapist and retired Professor of Rehabilitation Sciences, lost her wife 18 months ago to cancer, and her sister-in-law is currently in an ongoing battle with breast cancer.
On November 1 2024, Tracey began her challenge to walk the coastline of Britain, a 5000-mile journey, dubbed "Tracey's Trek".
The journey will take around 12 months to complete, and Tracey will be battling all kinds of weather to make it to the other side.
Most recently, Tracey stopped at the Riverside as part of her trek and met up with her niece and Boro Women star, Emma Foster, who is supporting her on her journey.
Tracey has raised £38,000 so far, with 100% of donations made going to cancer charities, you can donate here.
