Want to join us in supporting a good cause?

We're taking on the Kids' Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer, and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

Young Lives vs Cancer helps 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.

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.

My Updates

Day 23 ☑️ Complete! 📸💛

Monday 24th Aug
Details incoming…. All will be explained in Day 24’s update! 🫠💦

Day 22 ☑️ Complete!

Sunday 23rd Aug
The boys jogged half of today’s mile, and these were by far the quietest 1.07 miles so far! 😂🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♂️ No complaints, no moaning… just quietly getting it DONE! 💪🏼💛 What a little team they’re becoming! 🥹💛

Day 21 ☑️ Complete! 💛☀️🚶

Friday 21st Aug
Whilst Zack was off playing golf with Marcus (and getting plenty of steps in himself! ⛳️), Seb took the lead and kicked off Day 21 this morning. After 0.66 miles, he was absolutely wiped out 🥵 The heat is HOT! ☀️ But he didn’t give up… and this evening the boys joined forces and finished their mile together in the Old Town. ❤️ 1.10 miles done!

Day 20 ☑️ Complete! 💛🚶✨

Thursday 20th Aug
1.07 miles in 25:15! 👟💨 Today Seb took the reins… quite literally! He insisted on holding my phone while they walked, which has made me realise the boys may actually have walked a LOT more than I’ve been giving them credit for on previous days! So maybe all those miles have been even bigger than we thought! Day 20/31 ✔️ Every mile for families who deserve more time together. 💛

Day 19 ☑️ Complete! 💛👟🩹

Thursday 20th Aug
Day 19 of the challenge… and poor Zack had a little mishap! 🥺 Earlier in the afternoon, while walking up the steps to the waterslides, Zack managed to slit the top of his big toe. 🩹 By the evening he was definitely feeling it and was hobbling around the resort, but after dinner the boys headed out for their usual walk. 🌙🌴 It wasn’t his quickest mile, and there was definitely some limping involved, but Zack wasn’t going to let a sore toe stop him.

Day 18 ☑️ Complete! 💛🚶🏻🌊

Wednesday 19th Aug
An early morning mile before breakfast! ☀️💪🏼 The boys were up and out early today, getting their mile done before the day had even properly begun. 🌿👟 And today they walked 1.3 miles 💛 But of course, it wasn’t all walking… they couldn’t resist stopping at the beach to jump the waves! 🌊😂

Day 17 ☑️ Complete! 🚶🏻🌅💛

Monday 17th Aug
Day 17 of the challenge, and tonight’s mile was probably one of our most beautiful yet. Zack also got his challenge started this morning with 10 lengths in the pool! 🏊🏼‍♂️💦 It wasn’t quite a mile, but he was determined to get some of it done and keep moving. Then, after a day of exploring and enjoying our holiday, the boys headed down to the beach as the sun was setting and completed their mile together, walking along the water with the most beautiful sunset behind them. 🌅💛

Day 16 ☑️ Complete! 🚶💛🌅

Sunday 16th Aug
Holiday mode… but the challenge goes on! 🌴☀️ After a full day of travelling to Crete, both boys were absolutely shattered 😴 but they still managed 1.1 miles today! So we turned it into a little explore of the resort, getting our steps in while having a look around our new home for the next few days. 🥹🌴 They were SO tired, but they did it 💛

Day 15 ☑️ Complete! 🚴💛

Saturday 15th Aug
It’s not always smiles… This was Seb today after falling off his bike 😭 He was upset, he’d hurt himself and said to me, “Mummy, I want to give up.” 💔 But despite the tears, he got back on and completed his mile. 🥹👏🏼 Because this challenge isn’t always easy, there are grazed knees, tired legs, long days… but they keep on going 💛

Day 14 ☑️ Complete! 🚲🌙

Friday 14th Aug
It was our latest bike ride so far, heading out at 7:50pm after a busy day for the boys! No complaining, helmets on and off we went 💪🏼💛 The boys have been absolutely brilliant with this challenge. Heatwave, sunshine, busy days, tired legs… they’ve just kept going! 🥹💛

Day 13 ☑️ Complete! 🚲💛

Friday 14th Aug
1.59 miles in 15:05 🙌🏼 Another beautiful evening spent doing something simple but so special. 13 days down and we’re still going! 💛

Day 12 ☑️ Complete! 🚲🌑💛

Thursday 13th Aug
A very special ride this evening as the boys swapped their usual mile for a solar eclipse bike ride! ☀️🌑 1.60 miles in 15 minutes 17 seconds and, as always, they didn’t let the heat or tired legs stop them! 💪🏼

Day 11 ☑️ Complete! 🚴💛

Tuesday 11th Aug
Another busy day for the boys! 🥰 After a day at camp (and an AM golf session for Zack), we waited for the sun to finally ease off before heading out on the bikes. ☀️🚴‍♂️ And they absolutely smashed it… (the ice pops may have helped before we left!!) 2.13 miles in 17 minutes 21 seconds! Even after a busy day, they never complained and still got their miles done 💛

DAY 10 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️💛

Monday 10th Aug
A new second-best time! 🙌🏼🚴‍♂️ After a busy day of getting their new school uniforms, followed by a trip to the cinema and the arcades, it was straight home, back on the bikes and back to the challenge! They absolutely smashed it tonight, completing 1.66 miles in just 13 minutes 5 seconds! 🔥 That’s their second-fastest time so far and after such a busy day, I’m so proud of them! 🥹💛

DAY 9 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️💛

Monday 10th Aug
Mid-afternoon, blazing hot ☀️ and their biggest climb so far! ⛰️ Today’s mile was definitely a challenge - an uphill route in the heat, but the boys didn’t stop once! 💪🏼They just kept going and going, pushing themselves all the way to the top. 🥹💛 2.30 miles | 18 minutes 25 seconds 🚴‍♂️

DAY 8 ☑️ Complete! 🚴💛

Sunday 9th Aug
A family (Birthday) bike ride! 🎂🥳 1.3 miles in 12:25 and definitely the toughest one yet! 🥵 A very steep hill, blazing sunshine and two very hot boys made this one a challenge… but we pushed through and got it done! 💪🏼🚴‍♂️ Another day, another mile, another promise kept 💛

Day 7 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️💛

Friday 7th Aug
was all about making memories. The boys and I spent the day cruising along the River Thames with friends taking turns driving a boat and enjoying every minute of our adventure. As soon as we got home, it was time for a quick drink before we grabbed the bikes and headed out to make sure we didn’t miss a day. Tonight we completed 1.62 miles in 15 minutes and 30 seconds. 🚴‍♂️💛 Perfect timing too, we made it home just in time for Daddy to have their pasta ready and waiting!

DAY 6 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️💛

Thursday 6th Aug
After another busy day at camp, the boys were still full of energy, so we made the most of the gorgeous evening sunshine and decided to extend our ride. Tonight we completed 3.13 miles in 27 minutes and 19 seconds… with one very important pit stop for Seb! 😂🚻 Another day ticked off, another promise kept. We couldn’t be prouder of their determination to keep going, whatever the day brings. 💛

Day 5 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️💛

Wednesday 5th Aug
Another busy day for the boys! After spending the day with their grandparents and enjoying a trip to the local funfair, they still made sure to complete today’s mile. At 7:15pm, they jumped back on their bikes and tackled our usual 1.61-mile route, finishing in a record time of 14 minutes and 41 seconds! 🚴‍♂️💨 As if that wasn’t enough, Zack even cycled an extra mile afterwards to help me pick up a few bits for dinner. It’s been amazing to see their determination and commitment to this challenge, even after long, fun-filled days 💛

💛 Five days. £1,589. We are so grateful.

Wednesday 5th Aug

We are honestly blown away 💛

When Zack and Seb set out to complete a mile every day in August for Young Lives vs Cancer, we never imagined we’d be writing this just five days in…

Because of your incredible kindness and generosity, we’ve now raised £1,589. Every single donation, message of support and word of encouragement has meant so much to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting behind the boys and cheering them on every step of the way.

Thanks to your amazing support, we’ve increased our fundraising target to £2,000. We never imagined we’d be doing that so soon, and it still feels a little surreal.

We still have 26 days of the challenge ahead, and the boys are more determined than ever to keep going. Knowing that every mile they complete is helping children and families facing cancer makes every step worth it.

Thank you for believing in Zack and Seb, for encouraging them, and for helping make a real difference to families who need it most. We are so incredibly grateful 💛

Day 4 ☑️ Complete! 🚴‍♂️ 💛

Tuesday 4th Aug
Today was a long one for the boys. They’d been at camp all day and didn’t get home until 7pm, but they were determined not to miss a day. They jumped straight on their bikes and completed 1.63 miles in 15 minutes and 40 seconds. 💛🫶🏻 No time to rest, just pure determination to keep their promise and complete the challenge. They were even lucky enough to bump into one of their school teachers along the way, who gave them a big wave as they cycled past 💛

Day 3 ☑️ Complete!🚶‍♂️💛

Monday 3rd Aug
We were up bright and early, setting off at 7:30am this morning. The boys walked 1.02 miles (3,102 steps) before most people had even started their day 💛🫶🏻 Seb struggled again today, but Zack was the best big brother. He took Seb’s hand and encouraged him every step of the way, helping him power through. 💛

Day 2 ☑️ 💛 Away, But Still Walking!

Sunday 2nd Aug
We may be away for the weekend, but the challenge continues! 🚶‍♂️💛 Today the boys walked 1.04 miles (3,226 steps). Seb’s legs got tired halfway, but he kept going and made it to the end. So proud of them both!

Day 1 ☑️ Complete! 🚴 💛

Saturday 1st Aug
💛 Day 1 ✔️ 1.6 miles (2.59 km) completed! 30 more days to go. Thank you so much for all your amazing support!

We’ve Smashed Our £500 Target 💛⭐️

Wednesday 29th Jul
I can’t believe it! We’ve already hit our £500 target! 🤍

Thank you to every single person who has donated.

Because of your generosity, we’ve decided to raise our target to £750. Every extra pound will really help make an even bigger difference.

Zack, Seb and I are so grateful for all your encouragement 💙 

We’re Speechless… Thank You! ❤️

Wednesday 29th Jul

Wow… we are absolutely blown away!

When we set up this fundraiser, we never imagined we’d reach our original target so quickly. Thank you so much to every single person who has donated and shared words of encouragement for Zack and Seb.

Your kindness has inspired us to raise our target to £500. The boys haven’t even started their challenge yet, and knowing so many people are cheering them on means the world to us.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps support children and families facing cancer, and we’re so grateful to be able to play a small part.

Thank you for believing in the boys and supporting such an important cause. We can’t wait to share updates as they begin their mile-a-day journey!

One Mile at a Time 💛

Tuesday 28th Jul

This Saturday, Zack and Seb are taking on a challenge that gives them the opportunity to help others.

They’ve signed up for A Mile a Day in support of Young Lives vs Cancer, and we’re hoping to raise £150 for this incredible charity.

Every day they’ll complete a mile however they choose – walking, cycling, scooting or running – with every mile helping to raise awareness and funds for children and young people living with cancer.

As parents, it’s impossible not to think about how lucky we are to watch our children grow, laugh, learn and simply enjoy being kids. Sadly, so many families are facing a very different reality. A cancer diagnosis changes everything, and no child should have to face that journey.

We wanted Zack and Seb to take part in something that shows how even small acts of kindness can make a real difference. One mile a day might seem small, but together those miles – and your generosity – can help Young Lives vs Cancer continue to support families through some of the toughest times imaginable.

Our goal is to raise £150, and we would be so grateful for any donation, no matter how big or small. Every pound will help provide vital support to children with cancer and the people who love them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit Zack and Seb’s fundraising page and for supporting them on this challenge.

We’ll be sharing updates throughout their journey, and we can’t wait to see how many miles they can complete together 💛

Thank you for helping us show the boys that even the smallest steps can make a big difference.
