This year, 29th Oct, will mark my 8th-year of diagnosis (with just 2 years left until I have the official all clear), that's 1/3 of my life!
This will also be my 5th year with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. The trust has played a vital part in my post-treatment recovery and I now volunteer with them.
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that supports young people aged 8-24 in rebuilding their confidence after cancer. Better connections, Bigger Impact - Trust ambitions 2020-2022 (Announced 4th Feb).
What is your impact?
- £15 will pay for summer essentials water bottle and suncream for a trip
- £55 Feeds one young person for the four days of their first Trust sailing trip
- £90 Pays for the boats to berth at the different marinas during a week's trip
- £550 The cost for one young person's full trip.
Currently, for every young person supported by the trust, there are 9 that aren't. I went on 3 trips as a young person so my goal is to raise enough for 3 more young people to have the opportunity £1,650.
Throughout the year I will be doing various challenges to raise the funds... Watch this space.
