Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGivingpage.
This year, Woodward Estate Agents and Chartered Surveyors have decided to raise money for Children with Cancer UK, by holding a number of fundraising events throughout the year. We aimed to raise £6000, but are well beyond that thanks to our fabulous sponsors and generous donations.
We launched our campaign at the Harrow on the Hill May Day event on Sunday 3rd May with a cocktails stand, shook buckets at theaters, held a cake and coffee morning, had 5 and 10 k runners, cyclists who peddled from London to Brighton, sold stuff at a car boot, and ended with a Big Quiz night at Harrow on the Hill.
Did you know:
- Every year 3,600 new cases of cancer are diagnosed in children and young people between 0-24. 1,600 of these cases are in children aged 0-14; this means that 1 in every 500 children will develop some form of cancer by the age of 14.
- Around 280 children, aged 0 to 14 years, lose their lives to cancer every year in the UK, and around 50 young adults (aged 15-19 years) die every year from cancers diagnosed before their fifteenth birthday.
- In the UK, cancer is the most common cause of death in children aged 1 to 14 years, accounting for around one fifth of deaths in this age group.
Children with Cancer UK invests money into essential research, welfare and campaigning programmes every year in order to help more children who are diagnosed with cancer.
