Maria and Jessica are taking on the Kid's Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Maria and Jessica will be taking on the Young Lives vs Cancer Kids Summer Challenge.


1 mile per day for every day in August by cycling, scooting, walking and space hopper-ing! 

If anyone would like to sponsor them for this very worthy cause it would be most appreciated  


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 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. Make a donation and show your support today. 

  • £15 could go towards a grant to cover travel costs for long journeys to live saving treatment 
  • £26 could pay for an hour with a Young Lives vs Cancer Specialist Social Worker. They help families understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer. 
  • £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

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.
