Steph's Challenge Bonanza

Me who loves a bit sit-down more than most is going to get up and active for Young Lives vs Cancer. I'm starting with 30 Days of Fitness in Jan, moving onto 5000 Skips in February, a World Cancer Day cold water dip and finishing with Run100 miles in March. Yikes writing that out felt like a lot!

You probably know that I work here and I think the charity are great but did you know that families can spend up to £700 more when their child has cancer, paired with a more than £6,000 annual loss in income. That is shocking, imagine spending £700 more a month on top of the unbearable worry that your child is unwell. Young Lives vs Cancer provide grants, specialised Social Workers and free accomodation when families need it most.

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.

Children and young people with cancer are facing a winter without the magic that many of us hope for. 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.
