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
whilst 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.

Dotty and I are going to use our daily exercise over 5 days
to cover half a marathon - 13 miles!

I will be carrying Dotty in the sling which means an extra 26 pounds on my
back.

Please encourage us along on this challenge. You will be
helping to make sure that CLIC Sargent can be there for every family facing the
news that their child has cancer. Thank you SO much xxx
