CLICENDALES 2022: Ancient Egyptians Dance
Cerys Mack is raising money for Young Lives vs Cancer
Team: CLICENDALES 2022
Story
Hi, we are 13 medical students (Cerys Mack, Orla Webster, Sion Russell, Georgia Hall, Seb Priest, Alisha Nadkarni, Ben Hartshorn, Cameron Easdown, Darya Shiri, George Carlisle, Hattie Barton, Shay Wahid & Toby Jarman) who will be partaking in CLICENDALES (a charity dance show) on March 5th 2022. The theme for CLICENDALES this year is through the ages and we have chosen to "walk like an Egyptian" with our theme as Ancient Egypt! Includes special appearances from an Egyptian mummy and cleopatra herself!
CLICENDALES raises money for the amazing "Young Lives vs Cancer" (previously CLIC Sargent)! They are there for young cancer patients (aged 0-25) and their families from the point of diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond. They provide practical, emotional and financial support and fight tirelessly for them so they can focus on the important things.
- £25 could pay for an hour of support for a family from a Young Lives vs Cancer Social Care Worker. They will aim to speak with children and young people with cancer, and their families, soon after diagnosis and help them to understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer, through treatment and beyond.
- £100 could pay for a family to receive a Young Lives vs Cancer grant helping to cover the immediate costs that a cancer diagnosis brings, such as travel, parking and sibling childcare.
- £1,178 could pay for 31 days; the average duration of a family’s stay at a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home saving that family £3,100 in emergency accommodation costs and enabling the family to stay together. These Homes are so important, often a lifeline for families, providing them with a place to stay, close to where the child is receiving cancer treatment.
