Support my World Cancer Day Dip

Support my World Cancer Day Dip

I'm taking on a Cold Water Dip Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer this World Cancer Day. Join me in supporting a good cause and your contribution will make a big impact to children and young people with cancer. Whether you donate £5 or £500, every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

Children and young people with cancer are facing a hard winter. Instead of making precious memories with their family, treatment means that they’re facing weeks spent many miles from home.

But cancer doesn’t have to mean families are torn apart. That special moments are lost. You can keep families together this winter.

£23 could pay for an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer social worker, so that children and young people with cancer, and their families, get the right care and support at the right time

£60 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

My story

Friday 10th Jan
Last year two people I hold dear to me were diagnosed with cancer. It felt like the whole world got turned on its head and then a few months later it happened all over again. I witnessed unbelievable strength, but it was not without difficult times. For a lot of it I felt very helpless and wanted to do whatever I could to make this journey easier for them and their loved ones. 
Now that the new year is upon us, I've decided to do some fundraising to help charities that deal with this terrible disease daily, starting off with the Cold Water Dip on the 4th Feb. See the link below for the fundraising page, ft. a photo of Miss Melody! Anything you can give will help towards this cause. And thank you for reading this lengthy post!!
