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

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I'm taking on the Walk 80 Miles Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer. I will be walking 80 miles in September to support children and young people with cancer. 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.

  • £26 could pay for an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer social worker, so that children and young people with cancer, and their families, get the right care and support at the right time
  • £60 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
Why Walk 80 Miles?
Young cancer patients face an 80 mile round trip, on average, to get treatment.  Not only is this physically and emotionally exhausting, it comes it a huge financial cost too. It costs £255 a month when treatment is at its most intense.  

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 they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

My Updates

Hello!

Saturday 17th Aug
Hello! My name is Leanne, those who know me will know cancer has unfortunately been a huge part of my life, at 14 years old my mam passed away from breast cancer, from this my nana brought me and my brothers up. Then in 2023 my nana also passed away from breast cancer. Losing someone you love to cancer is horrendous, watching them get poorly, watching them get weaker and not being able to help them. I can’t begin to imagine how it feels doing this as a parent watching your babies going through this, as a parent you can fix most things and make things better, but with cancer it takes over everything. I have participated in the race for life many times and held fund raising events for cancer research and McMillan trust, this time I wanted to do something different, so me and my baby Brooke will walk 80 miles in 30 Days throughout September, I understand times are difficult, but every little donation helps. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
