Fundraising for Children with Cancer UK
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Last Year I ran my first 5k, so this year I have upped my challenge to a 10k through the Mersey Tunnel.
I am again raising money for Children with Cancer.
Every year approximately 3,300 children are diagnosed with Childhood Cancers.
Childhood then becomes a circuit of hospital, tests and treatments.
At the age of 8 my Twin Brother got diagnosed with Leukaemia.
Jamie was a typical 8yr old full of fun,mischief and loved nothing more than watching his favourite football team Everton. During his fight with the illness the twinkle in his eye and huge smile rarely waivered despite the pain he was in.
Jamie's dream was to walk his team onto the pitch at Goodison, thankfully he fullfilled this dream......but he passed away the same night with the memory of the roar of the crowd ringing in his ears.
Children who now get diagnosed with Leukaemia are not handed a death sentence as 80% survive....although this cannot be said of all childhood Cancers.
The work that Children With Cancer do through their research and Welfare Projects ensure that the amount of Children who survive will increase, but as they get no Goverment funding they rely on Fundraising.
Please dig deep and make a difference to a child's chance of surviving to reclaim their childhood.
I will never get to tell Jamie how Proud I am of him, but I get to run in his memory and in the process help others who need a helping hand to see another tomorrow.
Thank You
