Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Holly and Liv will be taking on the 106km Isle of Wight ultra challenge in May. Holly’s bestfriend, Nathan has been diagnosed with Leukaemia at the age of 23, so we’ve decided to raise funds and awareness for this amazing charity who is not only helping Nathan, but many other young lives/families affected by cancer. 

UPDATE***

Thank you to everyone who donated and followed our journey. It was an absolute pleasure to raise over £5000 for this amazing charity and my bestfriend Nathan.

Onto the next:

🎉🏉 Announcement! 🏉🎉

Gordon League is proud to announce a special event to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer!

One of our own, Nathan Hiles, is bravely battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Unfortunately, he's one of many young people facing a cancer diagnosis, but thankfully, with the incredible support of charities like Young Lives vs Cancer, they and their families can access vital help. 💪❤️

Join us in supporting this important cause and making a difference! Every contribution counts. Let's come together and show our strength as a community!

📆 17th August KO 1.30pm

🏟 Gordon League, Hempsted

The events going to include -

☑️Rugby match between Gordon League RFC and a Combination team

☑️ Little Monsters session for the kids

☑️ Raffle with some amazing prizes provided by local business

☑️ Bake Sale provided by some lovely local bakers

☑️ Live music from @los.pelicanos.uk

☑️ Bouncy Castles, bbq food and Ice cream on site

£10 could pay towards an hour of care from the team around a family, so that they have the emotional and financial support they need from Young Lives vs Cancer.

£22 could help pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer Big Bag. Young Lives vs Cancer Big Bags are given to families when their child is first diagnosed with cancer. They contain essential items for a hospital stay such as toiletries, a teddy, a thermal mug, Young Lives vs Cancer information booklets and much more. The bags help parents prepare for when their child begins treatment and they’re travelling to and from hospital a lot. 

£38 could pay for a family to stay overnight in one of Young Lives vs Cancer’s Homes from Home, providing free self-catering accommodation near to specialist children’s cancer treatment centres, which are often many miles from a family’s own home.
