Want to join us in supporting a good cause?

We're taking on the Kids' Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer, and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

Young Lives vs Cancer helps families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day, 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

£70 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home, a free place for families to stay close to specialist hospitals when their child is going through treatment, keeping families together.

Join me in supporting a good cause. Your contribution will make a big impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. 

Thank you for your support.

Day 21 - I'm Back

Saturday 22nd Aug
Hello, sorry for no updates the past few day's on my mile. We have been away with our Nanny and Grandpa. Back to home now and got straight out on my bike with my Sister yesterday. I've missed my bike this week but enjoyed being away with my family. My mile on the beach this week was probably my favourite, more shells collected for Mummy too. I can't believe I have just over a week of my challenge left. It's gone so fast. Love Darcie x

Day 11 - From a sunny seaside

Tuesday 11th Aug
Hello everyone. Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I've caught up today with my 1 mile and done 4 miles today. We have had a really lovely walk around Llandudno and the beach at Prestatyn. My miles today included the sea and sand which was so much fun. My dog Max absolutely loved it today too. I think we will all sleep well tonight. With that I best go to bed. Love Darcie x

Sunday 9th Aug
Today I've been out on my bike. I've done lots of laps round the park and even took my Dog around with me. We biked too and from the park too. I fell off my bike today going down the skateramp. I was okay, just a grazed knee to go with my already grazed elbow. Love Darcie x

Day 8 🌞

Saturday 8th Aug
We went to visit Grandad and and Lou in their campervan. My 1 mile tonight was really fun, I ran, cartwheeled, had wheelbarrow races and walked to complete it with my family too. Thank you for all the donations I keep getting. We are all so greatful. Love Darcie x

Day 7 - Walk and roll

Saturday 8th Aug
7 days of doing my challenge have gone so fast. I'm still really enjoying it and looking forward to going out each day. 
We had a walk down the Salt line today with Mummy's friend and then a stop at the park. Later in the day we went to another park and I wheeled round on my new heeleys too. 
2 miles done over the day ❤️ Love Darcie x

Day 6 -Family Walk

Thursday 6th Aug
Today I completed a 2 mile walk with my Mum and Sister's. We made a stop to see my Nanna with some birthday gifts for her and a piece of cake for energy 😋 On our way home we picked a parcel up from the shop, maybe my next mile should be on wheels 😄 Love Darcie x

Donation Target

Thursday 6th Aug
We have been absolutely blown away by how generous everyone has been and the support behind Darcie. She smashed her £100 target in the first day and now on almost £300 which is just amazing. We have decided to raise her target to £350 as there's still alot of the month to go and lots more miles in Darcie to go. If anyone else could please share the page, donate or just share words of encouragement we would be so thankful and greatful. The difference we are making could be life changing to a family affected by cancer. Thank you so so much. Love Darcie and Mummy x

Monday 3rd Aug
Today we walked to the library with our friends and had lots of fun on the way. We were pretending to be on a train. Thank you for joining us for our 1 mile today. Love Darcie x

Day 2 - 10K bike ride

Monday 3rd Aug
Yesterday I went on a bike ride to complete my daily challenge with my Stepdad. We went down the Salt line and saw some beautiful Sunflowers at the end. I came off my bike at the start of my ride but I was okay, just a scraped elbow but I was happy to carry on. We did a 10K with a few water stops on the way 😊❤️ Love Darcie x

My first Mile

Saturday 1st Aug
We went for a walk as a family around Westport lake. It was a really sunny afternoon so it was a very enjoyable walk. We tracked it so I knew when it had been a mile. Really happy I've done my first mile. Tomorrow I hope to do it on my bike. Love Darcie x

Thank you to my Sponsors

Gaz And Cat

A very generous donation of £50 from our friends Gaz and Cat. Thank you so so much! I was given the cash and from other friends too and I didn't realise I'd already uploaded the £15 (From Barbara and Grandson) then did it again so it took twice so this shows £15 less to account for me being daft! Thank you so much for the support x
