A 50 km Hike Pays Off Last month we told you about Gill Compton, who lives in England, wanting to do something special for her mother in Toronto, who's battling the effects of myeloma.Gill decided to hike 50 km in the Peak District in England this past July 13 in honour of her mother’s birthday. Not only did Gill succeed in her hike, but she raised $500 for Myeloma Canada! Congratulations on your achievement Gill, and thank you so much for your generosity.
