Support my Skip 5,000 challenge

I'm taking on the Skip 5,000 Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer. I'll be skipping 5000 times in February 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.

Children and young people with cancer are facing a difficult winter. Instead of making precious memories with their family, treatment means that they’re facing weeks spent many miles from home.

But cancer doesn’t have to mean families are torn apart. That special moments are lost. You can keep families together this winter.

£23 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 am I doing this?

Thursday 16th Jan
Ok, so there is are several very good reasons that I am doing this; In December 2014 I lost a school friend aged 30 to cancer and then in January 2015 I lost a fellow dance friend aged just 24 from a very rare form of cancer (Spindle cell sarcoma).
They were two of the most beautiful people I knew. 
I also used to work for a children's hospice and unfortunately cancer was very common to be around, seeing those young people fight daily was hard but also encouraging and inspirational.
If these amazing people could fight for years to try and beat cancer then I can definitely do 5000 skips in a month to support an amazing charity trying to do the same.

Thank you to my Sponsors
