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

We will be walking or running every single day in August to raise money for the charity Young Lives vs Cancer. 

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 us in supporting a good cause. Thank you for your support.

Final update from James and Max

Thursday 4th Sep
We have been on holiday and we walked and cycled lots. Our furthest distance in a day was 15 miles on our bikes. In total we did 85 miles in August!

Update from Max

Wednesday 20th Aug
We have already done 37 miles! But we are going to keep going for the rest of August to see how many miles we do altogether.

Update from James

Monday 11th Aug
Hi. It's James. For the last few days we've been doing lots of walks in the woods with our Nan and we took our dog Maisey with us.

Update from Max

Sunday 3rd Aug
Today is Day 3 of the challenge. We did junior parkrun which is 1.2 miles. I came 19th out of 96 runners.

Update from James

Saturday 2nd Aug
Hi this is James. We have started our challenge. On Day 1 we went for a walk but it wasn't a very good start because Max got stung by a wasp so we only did half a mile. On Day 2 we did parkrun and ran 3.1 miles.
