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.

31 Miles Complete! 🩷🚲🏃🏻‍♀️

Monday 31st Aug

And just like that… 31 miles done!


Throughout August, the boys have walked, run and cycled their way through our very first fundraising challenge, in aid of Young Lives vs Cancer.


It wasn’t always quite as straightforward as we’d planned! 

As it was a summer with several heatwaves we were unable to get out on bicycles for some of the days, so we have doubled and tripled the miles on cooler days to make sure we reached our target.


We’re so proud to say that they’ve raised an amazing £500 - absolutely smashing our original target of £150! 🩷


More than the money, we’re proud of what the boys have learned along the way. They’ve learned about perseverance, kindness and thinking about other people who are going through things that are much harder than the challenges they’ve faced.


They are both so incredibly proud of themselves for this huge achievement. They have pushed themselves even when their legs are tired, and when it’s hot or rainy. But we’ve also made some brilliant memories. The boys must have befriended every single dog (and owner) in Chinnor, we have explored new routes in our local area and took part in creating a community “Fairy Forest” that we check on every day.


Thank you so much to everyone who donated, shared our challenge, encouraged the boys or simply followed along with us. Your generosity has made this experience even more special for them.


31 miles. £500 raised. One very proud pair of boys. 🩷

Day One Complete!

Saturday 1st Aug
The boys are off to a great start! Marley has been practicing riding a pedal bike for the last couple of weeks, and is pretty confident now. He has to stop every now and then which helps me ease myself in to running 😅 but already I can see an increase in his stamina so let’s see how fast we get by the end of August.. Thank you to everyone for donating - the boys are so chuffed that they have raised almost double their original target!

One Mile at a Time 🩷

Monday 20th Jul
Throughout the month of August, Magnus and Marley will be walking, running or cycling one mile every day to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Every mile that they complete will be a reminder that while this is a challenge for them, many children facing cancer have to find incredible strength every single day. We hope that by taking on this challenge together, we can help raise awareness and support a charity that provides vital care for children and families when they need it most.

As well as raising money, this challenge is an opportunity for the boys to learn some important life lessons. We hope that it will teach them that even small actions, done consistently, can make a big difference. They’ll learn about kindness, empathy, perseverance and the importance of helping others, while discovering that they are capable of achieving more than they might think.

We’ll be sharing updates along the way, so you can follow our journey, cheer the boys on, and see how they are getting on. If you’d like the support them, whether through a donation or simply by sharing words of encouragement, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for following along as we begin our very first fundraising challenge.
