Story
Everyday 12 children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. Cancer is not stopping for Coronavirus, and CLIC Sargent's services are on the frontline, supporting families facing cancer.
Demand for these services has never been higher from families already facing cancer and now anxious because of Coronavirus too. The families CLIC Sargent supports are worried about their child’s risk of infection; some are separated by isolation rules; struggling financially or practically. Things like getting to their child’s bedside in hospital or even putting food on the table are challenges families are telling us they are facing right now.
CLIC Sargent, is 100% funded by voluntary donations. So while the urgent need for support and hardship grants is rising rapidly, the income available to provide this support is plummeting, as many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed.
So we are all taking on a challenge each. Gracie will be doing 260 trampoline bounces, Toby will be shooting 260 basket ball hoops in one day, Serena will be doing a garden obstacle course 26 times, Jamie will be running 26.2 miles over 5 days and Sooty, Sweep and Soo will be taking on a daring 26 metre zip wire!
The families CLIC Sargent supports needs us now more than ever, please support us or take on your own 2.6 Challenge!
