Welcome to the Sammy Jo Brandon Foundation Just Giving Page,

 Hopefully you are here to make a donation for one of SJBF marathon runners that will be running the London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2023

17th March 2023 - Unfortunately we have lost 2 of our runners Angie Krasniqi and Emilia Williams we wish them both all the very best and hopefully they can be part of Team SJBF in the near future..

A few of our runners have done half marathon and aired out their new SJBF design vests - (see photo below) please look out for them and give them a great big cheer on marathon day 

Team SJBF has 18 runners, we are so proud of them all for wanting to run for us 

Danny Alborough, Tom Archer, Danny Catterall, Lewis Dark, Richard Edwards, Joseph Goodchild, Craig Gunn, Aron Hanks, Tomas McCarthy, Tyrone Owen , Michael Parker , Joe Wheeler, Alfie Wiltshire, Luke Woollard, Robert Slattery. Bobbie Jacobs, Paul Livingstone and Danny Miller 

They will all be working as a team to raise money for Children With Cancer  UK. If your donation is for one runner in particular please put their name on your message.

Every single penny raised goes straight to Children with Cancer UK.

They use the money by helping families that have to deal with this horrible disease, they also fund research and raise awareness. To find out more about them go to www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk.

So you are probably wondering who SJBF is, Sammy Jo Brandon was a beautiful bubbly 29 years old that lost her battle to Triple Negative Breast Cancer on the 14^th May 2018. When Sammy Jo  was going
through chemotherapy she often spoke about young children and babies having to go through similar treatment, this upset her immensely and promised that she would help them in some way once she had recovered from her own illness.
Unfortunately she got the devastating news that the Cancer had returned in her brain and lungs and only had weeks to live. Over the following weeks there were a lot of hard conversations with her, one of them being about children dealing with cancer, so raising money at her funeral to help them was very important to her, £6,485 was raised. 

SJBF has gone from strength to strength our first year we raised £88,088.88, second year £44,088.88, 3rd year £16,088.88 (both 2nd and 3rd year through COVID) and last year we raised £81,088.88. We also donated  £3,000 to Cancer Research and a young boy with
leukemia we gave his family £2,500 to enjoy a holiday at Centre Parcs for them all to enjoy when he is well enough.  

To date we have raised over £240,000 we are so proud of ourselves and everyone who has donated, come along to one of our events, helped out or done events on their own for us. Thank you.

SJBF has been set up to help remember Sammy Jo and to continue to show how loving and caring she was. Everyone has children in their lives at some stage, imagine if they became ill, wouldn’t you want to know that through research that it was possible to treat them successfully and have Children with Cancer UK to help you deal with it. By sponsoring the Marathon runners you are helping to save a child’s life any donation big or small is so appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support.
