We're taking on the Kid's Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer.

The Challenge

We are joining thousands of children taking on the Kid's Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer this Summer.  The challenge is simple - complete 1 mile a day, every day for 31 days in August, in whatever way we want! We've chosen to run, walk, skip, swim, wheel and scoot, to cover the distance.  


The reason why

Lilian: "I first learnt about cancer from Mummy. Her best friend died of cancer at 15 years old. I want to raise money to help children, who are living with cancer, and their families".

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer.
