Belfast: A heartwarming video is making waves online. It features Gemma McMullan, a brave cancer survivor, reuniting with her daughter, Mara. This emotional moment happened at Belfast International Airport after Gemma completed a tough 100km charity hike in the Indian Himalayas.

Gemma, who moved from Inverness to Northern Ireland, hiked for nine days to raise £11,000 for breast cancer. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease in 2022. Her husband planned a surprise reunion since she couldn’t contact her family during the hike due to poor signal.

Inspired by Loganair’s Christmas ad, Gemma entered their competition. She’s now a finalist for a chance to win free flights for a year. The competition celebrates heartwarming moments of connection, and Gemma’s story fits perfectly.

She shared how challenging the hike was, saying it tested her both physically and emotionally. Being away from Mara was tough, especially without any way to communicate. The reunion at the airport was unforgettable for her.

Lyn MacDonald from Loganair praised Gemma’s story, highlighting the spirit of connection it represents. Public voting for the finalists is open until January 22, 2025. The winner will be announced shortly after.

Loganair offers flights across the UK, making it easier for families to connect. They have a generous baggage allowance, so passengers can bring gifts and essentials without stress. If you want to support Gemma, check out the Loganair Facebook page to vote for her.
