Support my World Cancer Day Dip
I'm taking on a Cold Water Dip Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer this World Cancer Day. Join me in supporting a good cause and your contribution will make a big impact to children and young people with cancer. Whether you donate £5 or £500, every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.
Children and young people with cancer are facing a hard 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

Kiera’s story
Friday 10th Jan In late June of 2024 Kiera started experiencing headaches, sickness and dizziness. A doctors appointment on Monday 8th July led to her being sent straight to hospital and by 5.30pm that night we had been told she had a tumour in her brain. The following week she had a biopsy at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, London and she was referred to The Royal Marsden in Sutton. Just a few days later she was told that her diagnosis was terminal. To give us a bit more time with her she had 6 weeks of radiotherapy to try and slow down the growth of the tumour, which was diagnosed as Left Thalamic Diffuse Midline Glioma H3K27-altered.Thank you to my Sponsors
