Family and friends have been affected by cancer in one way or another, which has made me determined to do what I can to help further research and support in this area. When looking for a charity to support, I became aware of the research and help provided to children by the charity 'Children with Cancer UK’.

One particular story was about a little girl named Lucy who spent 7 months in the Birmingham Children's hospital after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Lucy has had 2 operations but sadly some of the tumour remains and is still growing. Due to the position of the tumour, the surgeons are unable to remove it. The good news is that so far, she is doing really well and thanks to the research and treatment, they feel positive about the future.

I would very much appreciate it if you would consider sponsoring me to help raise the £3500 target for this worthwhile cause.
