I’m taking on 10,000 steps every day in February for Young Lives vs Cancer. 

Young Lives vs Cancer help 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.

Thank you for your support.

Our story

Wednesday 14th Jan
In February, I’ll be walking 10,000 steps every day for Young Lives vs Cancer, and every single step is for my beautiful grandson, Louie.

Louie has just turned 13, he should be spending his days running around a football pitch, laughing with his friends and doing what he loves most. Instead, he’s facing something no child ever should. In December Louie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and unfortunately the cancer has spread to his lungs, as a family our world has been turned upside down.

He is on a 9-month intensive treatment plan of chemotherapy, and in February he will undergo major surgery in Birmingham, where his fibula bone will be removed in an attempt to save his leg. 

Watching my grandchild endure this is something a family is never prepared for.

I am beyond proud of my daughter Chloe and my son in law Daniel, who show up every single day with strength, love and courage, even though their hearts are breaking. Also my granddaughters Bonnie and Tilly, who are learning far too young what it means to be brave, patient and strong while their brother fights this battle.

As a mother there is nothing harder than seeing your own child living in fear for their own child, Louie should be living the carefree childhood he deserves, I would take this pain away in a heartbeat if i could.

I’m walking to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer, a charity that supports children and families through the darkest moments of their lives. Every donation, every share, every kind word helps families like ours feel less alone during the hardest fight of their lives.

Thank you for supporting Louie. Thank you for standing with children and families who are facing battles they never chose 💪🏽🎗️💙
