A courageous mum-of-two with incurable cancer joined colleagues for the last mile of a 200-mile charity walk she inspired.
Around 70 staff from the Everbright Group’s hotels took on the gruelling 10-day trek from North Wales to Penrith in relay teams to raise money for Breast Cancer Now.
Along the way they were met by well-wishers who stopped to donate and share their own emotional experiences with cancer.
The challenge was sparked by the determination of much-loved colleague Fiona Sellars, the group’s marketing and support manager, whose strength has left a lasting impression on those around her.
Known to colleagues and friends as Fi, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and has since undergone more than 50 rounds of treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy and surgery.
Her resilience in the face of the incurable diagnoses became the driving force behind the ambitious fundraising effort which also marks the hotel group’s 10th anniversary.
After weeks of preparation and planning, the fundraisers were waved off from Everbright’s Belmont Hotel in Llandudno.
