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

Ben and Lily are taking on the Kid's Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer, and will be ticking off at least one mile of walking or running a day throughout August! 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.

Clent hills for tea

Thursday 28th Aug
It was too stuffy at home so we took our tea up the Clent Hills, stomping up the steepest part together our mile in first! Not many more to go now, we'll definitely get them in this last weekend as we head to Brean for one last long weekend before school's back on Wednesday. Thank you for your donations! 

And we have two bike riders!

Thursday 21st Aug
Lots of lapsofthe Stourport cycling track today on their second riding lesson. We now have two very good bicycles riders, both picked it up quickly and clearly Ben is built for speed, yikes! Thanks to our newest donators, we've smashed our target, thank you from Ben and Lily! <3

Parkrun and forest

Monday 18th Aug
Clocked up 4 miles in the forest with friends on Sunday. Ben ran his 28th parkrun!

Holiday camp week

Thursday 14th Aug
Well, mum and dad had to work this week, which meant lots of activity at holiday camps with sports and crafts! Ben and Lily assure me at least a mile a day was covered. To be fair they were worn out each day! All had a late mile walk early evening for the fresh air tonight :)
