Story

Thanks for visiting our permanent fundraising/ memorial page. This has been set up under Will Falck's name to support CLIC Sargent, who provide care and support for young adults, such as Will, with Cancer. This was a much loved charity by Will himself.

This page will be the basis of all fundraising events in memory of Will. 

Upcoming Events


Harry Edwards’ Everest Challenge!

Harry, age 11 and Nephew of Will, is climbing the height of Everest by summiting  Moel Famau in North Wales 23 times in June to raise money for the charity.

His route took him on 5,200 epic laps of his living room and he completed it in 4 Hrs and 39 minutes. As seen on various media and news channel such as The Telegraph. Heroic effort sir!

John Harris - On saturday 4th April John will complete 1,172 laps of his garden on the Wirral, England. Broadcasting to the world live on Youtube/ Facebook. We can't believe that we have such ridiculous people who raise money for our charity! Good luck!
