Matt's Charity 10K For The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust - 10th of July
Fundraising for The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust
Story
On the 10th of July I am running 10K at Regent’s Park in London to raise money for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT), a charity close to my heart!
The CHECT are the UKs only charity dedicated to helping people affected by retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer which affects 50-60 children annually in the UK.
Every year CHECT:
- Funds research into the prevention and treatment of retinoblastoma
- Provides support and information to families and individuals
- Raises awareness among health professionals and the public
- Helps to influence policy to improve services for patients
CHECT offers support to every family in the UK following a diagnosis of retinoblastoma, and provides lifelong support to anyone affected from diagnosis, through teenage years and into adulthood. They are a small charity and rely on the donations of others to provide their services.
It would be awesome if you considered helping me raise money for this great charity! Thanks for reading.
