Story
Quite simply, I would like to dedicate this to some of the people closest to me in my life as well as the people that I know nothing of in this world. Raising this money I hope will in some way help an individual, a family, potentially even a community.
Few facts about the charity:
World Child Cancer works to help children with cancer in developing countries – in the UK over 80% of children now survive cancer – in developing countries that can be as low as 10% - but it does not need to be like that. I am taking on this half marathon to raise vital funds to give children with cancer in developing countries an equal chance of accessing the best possible treatment and care.
The money you donate could support the following:
· £5 buys nutritional support for 5 children and their families during treatment in Cameroon
· £10 pays for a week’s worth of pain relief medication for 4 children in Malawi
· £25 funds accurate diagnosis for 10 children in Bangladesh
· £50 pays for life-saving chemotherapy for a child in Ghana
· £150 pays for a play worker in Myanmar for 6 months
· £500 funds the treatment of a child with Burkitt lymphoma in Malawi
