Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a member of a local running club, The Polegate Plodders, and am taking part in my first ever half marathon next March along with several other brave Plodders.  We want to raise funds for  a local charity and a friend suggested CWCF in Polegate.  I contacted the charity and having spoken to them about the support they offer children and their families as they deal with their battle against cancer, I was touched by their warmth, spirit and determination to bring a little joy at such a difficult time.  One of the things they do is grant the child with cancer a wish. They also offer siblings and the whole family support; but this comes at a price.

The Plodders are a determined bunch and not only want to finish the half marathon but want to raise enough money to pay for a wish.  Please make time to visit the CWCF website to see the fantastic work they do. (www.childrenwithcancerfund.co.uk) This work has recently been recognised as they were voted Charity of the Year at the Sovereign Awards 2015, but they still need continued support and fund raising.

We have set a goal of raising at least £131; that equates to £10 for every mile of the half marathon, but with your help I am sure we can exceed this target.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

CWCF was set up in 1998 by Ursula & Chris Downton with Kirsty & James Denny. Now, with the help of other friends and family, we still go out having fun raising funds to grant wishes to families that live in East Sussex, Brighton & Hove and who have children that have been diagnosed with cancer.
