Support my Swim 10k Challenge
We were incredibly supported by Young Lives Vs Cancer (then ClicSargent), during our son Jack's 3½yrs of treatment for Leukaemia in 2004 - 2007, and know firsthand how important the support & work this charity does not just for the ill child, but for the whole family.
I'm taking on the Swim 10k Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer. I will be swimming 10k in the great outdoors between 1 - 31 July.
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 summer. 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.
£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
£70 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
