Support Yes to Life's Camino walkers

The team at recent conference Sept 2025
Tomorrow my former colleagues who are leading Yes to Life are off on a 230km walk along the Camino de Invierno to Santiago de Compostela (a destination for pilgrims). There is still time to support them and ensure Yes to Life continues it's vital work.

Each member of the team brings their own reason for walking. Robin Daly MBE, who founded Yes to Life after losing his daughter Bryony to cancer, sees the Camino as a tribute to two decades of life-changing support for those facing cancer. CEO Miquel León-Canete walks to mark a bold new chapter in Yes to Life’s mission, while Sue de Cesare, former Executive Director, returns to the charity for this incredible challenge with deep gratitude for the community built over the years. Sara Spinks, coordinator of Wigwam cancer support groups, will walk for all those who’ve ever sat in a Wigwam Group seeking hope and understanding.

“This Camino marks more than a milestone—it’s a tribute to everyone who’s walked with us over the last 20 years. As we reach Santiago, we carry the stories, the courage, and the hope of the many lives we’ve touched.” Robin Daly MBE – Founder, Yes to Life

“This is about connection—between people, land, and purpose. The Camino is humbling. It’s the perfect way to honour our past while walking boldly into the future of integrative cancer support.” Miquel León-Canete – CEO, Yes to Life

“I joined this walk because Yes to Life has always been a journey of transformation—now we literally walk that path. Every step is a thank you to those who believed in this mission from the start.” Sue de Cesare – Former Executive Director, Yes to Life

“For me, the Camino represents the Wigwam spirit—togetherness, strength, and mutual support. I’ll be walking for every person who’s ever sat in a Wigwam group seeking light and support.” Sara Spinks – Wigwam Coordinator
