Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The staff at Lindridge Primary school are very excited to be raising money for CLIC Sargent (CLIC: Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood) who provide services to families with children or young people with cancer so that they can focus on what's important.

Amber Beverley-Smith (9), a Lindridge school student, was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer of the brain and spine in August 2020 and is currently undergoing treatment. Amber and her family have been supported by CLIC Sargent from the beginning, and continue to receive their support. 

The staff have decided to walk the 31 miles of the Worcestershire Way over two days in June on Saturday 19th and Saturday 26th. Amber hopes to join her teachers near the end of the sponsored walk so they can cross the finish line together.

Some of us are new to walking such distances so we are getting prepared with training when possible so that we can do our very best and make it to the end! 

If you can donate please do, it really would be most appreciated no matter how big or small. Thank you.

A little bit more info about how CLIC Sargent helps:

When cancer strikes young lives CLIC Sargent helps families limit the damage it causes beyond their health. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Today, 12 more children and young people will hear the devastating news they have cancer. From diagnosis, CLIC Sargent’s specialist care teams will step in, ready to help, support and guide. We provide a package of support tailored to each young cancer patient and their family.CLIC Sargent will fight tirelessly for children and young people with cancer, often when they feel they can’t. We do this individually, locally and nationally, so that they can focus on the important things, like getting well. And if the worst happens, we will work with bereaved families to get them support, to help them cope with their emotional pain.

An example of where the money raised can help:

£38 could cover the cost of a family staying overnight in one of CLIC Sargent’s Homes from Home, providing free self-catering accommodation for the family near to specialist children’s cancer hospitals, which are often many miles from a family’s own home.

Thank you.
