WE DONE AN AMAZING TOTAL OF 65,381 KICKS IN 12 HOURS FOR THE CHARLIE BEAR CANCER APPEAL!
HOW IT WORKED!
-4 people sign up to each hour (individuals may do multiple hours if they wish) you can sponsor them more if they do to encourage this!
- 1 person holds bag, two people kick alternatively each side on person with clicker. Rotate every 15 mins. Therefore each person kicks twice round once with each leg.
- You can also donate per a certain number of kicks to encourage us to kick faster!
THE CHARITY
Charlie Bear was originally launched as a charity in 1978 by Daisy Clark MBE in memory of her husband Charlie. They made and sold, with the help of a team of volunteers, thousands of teddy bears. This enabled the purchase of the very first CT scanner in the area. Sadly, Daisy is no longer with us.
Since then the charity has continued to raise vital funds to help support people with cancer in the northeast in a variety of ways.
This is now a dedicated charitable fund based at the Northern Centre for Cancer Care and supported by the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
