Challenge 80 September 2025

I'm taking on Challenge 80 for Young Lives vs Cancer.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I'm taking on Challenge 80 for Young Lives vs Cancer. 

I will be completing 80 miles in September to support children and young people with cancer. 

80 miles is the average journey that a family facing cancer has to travel from home to a specialist treatment centre. And now, with the rise in cost of living, families are struggling more than ever before to find the money to make the journey. Then there’s the parking payments, overnight stays and finding food, all while income is reduced. Because working full time and looking after your child with cancer is almost impossible.   

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Make a donation and show your support today. 

  • £12 could re-stock the kitchen cupboards at a Home from Home so a family can enjoy a home-cooked meal together with their loved ones.
  • £26 could pay for an hour with a Young Lives vs Cancer Specialist Social Worker. They help families understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer. 
  • £70 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Homes 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.

Monday 4th Aug
Me and my daughter Evie may have decided to take part in this challenge as we know firsthand how this charity helps families Evie Mai was diagnosed with leukaemia in April. We are currently undergoing treatment at Southampton hospital under the Piam Brown ward. Young lives versus cancer have been a great support throughout this journey so far. And me and my daughter feel like we would love to give back 80 miles it’s going to be very challenging for my daughter , but we will take it slow and steady. This is for all the Warriors fighting a battle.
