I’m walking 60 Miles in November for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be walking 60 Miles in November, from the 1st to the 30th, to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 

Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news 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.

Thank you for your support.

Walking 60 (but really 100) miles for Young Lives- but why?

Wednesday 4th Nov
A few years ago, I was given the news that my brother had developed Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is a type of blood cancer. Neither me nor my family knew much about it, and as someone who keeps her personal life VERY private, I felt I had to manage my feelings around it alone!

This is the case for thousands and thousands of young people and their families who face cancer daily. I'm infinitely grateful to say my brother is now in remission, but knowing there are charities such as Young Lives Vs Cancer who can support those who need it is incredible. I'm fundraising because I know I have a fair amount of reach, and I'd like to use it for good!

If you're ever in a position like this, know there are charities that are there for you. They can give you the space to have difficult conversations and deal with insurmountable emotions. I wish I'd known Young Lives existed back when I was dealing with my brother's Lymphoma- so if I can spread the word about it as much as possible, I will :)
