Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 2nd October 2022 I will be running the London Marathon, this is my first Marathon and I will be running in memory of Jordan Dawes. To help raise vital funds for Young Lives vs Cancer. They rely solely on voluntary donations to fund their work. They supported Jordan and her family throughout her battle and during the hardest of times.
Everyone’s different, so Young Lives work hard to provide support that’s easy to access and meets individual needs.
The London Marathon will be a tough challenge, but not as tough as the battle those children and their families are sadly battling against cancer. Your donations will help Young Lives support those families with that battle.
Below is a little breakdown of how your donations could help.
£4 could pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer storybook that explains childhood cancer to children in simple, easy to understand language
£15 could pay for a copy of Young Lives vs Cancer DVD to help bereaved families understand and cope with their grief
£46 could pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker to be there soon after diagnosis, giving a family one-to-one support
£170 could pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer grant to help stop cancer costs spiralling
£330 could pay for a family to stay 10 nights at a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home, providing free accommodation close to where their child is receiving cancer treatment
£570 could pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer Play Specialist for a week to help a child prepare and cope with treatment
£1,050 could pay for a Young Lives vs Cancer Nurse for a week, providing care and support at home so that families can avoid travel and stay together where possible
£3,155 could fund Young Lives vs Cancer Information Service for a week, providing young cancer patients, and their families, with expert advice and guidance on everything to do with life during and after treatment
Thank you.
