Laurence Carter

In 2018-19 Laurence Carter walked 4,314 miles around the coasts of England and Wales in honour of his late wife Melitta, to raise awareness that cervical cancer can be eliminated in a generation. His memoir From Grief to Love tells the story of this epic walk and the people he meets along the way, and also his journey through grief.

Laurence lives in Bethesda, Maryland, where he enjoys walking his dog, running, an occasional beer, seeing his three adult children, and strolling along the canal with his fiancée, whom he met as a result of the walk. Laurence, who is English, was delighted when NHS England pledged in November 2023 to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

Growing up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, I was called Ruth. I became Mary when I entered the business world where first names were the order of the day. To this day, family and friends call me Dink, a name my father gave me when I was born because according to him I was ‘a dinky little thing’ weighing in at four and a half pounds. However, I answer to Fern since people are more comfortable with a name they can pronounce.
