Story

Thank-you for visiting our Just Giving Page. This year the Year 12 students at Whickham School have voted Megan's Rose of Hope as one of the recipient charities of our Annual Charity Week activities.

This Charity is a one that is particularly close to our hearts as Megan was a student at Whickham, one who is fondly remembered by all who knew her and both staff and students cherish their memories of her. After a brutal and extremely brave battle with cancer Megan passed away at the tender age of 19. She was a kind, charitable and giving young woman - who used her precious final days to help plan charity events to raise funds for cancer charities. Indeed, during her time in Whickham Sixth Form Megan took part in her own Year 12 charity week activities. It is because of this that students have voted to support the charity setup in her name to help raise awareness and create a network of support for young people aged 11-25 who are diagnosed with cancer.

Staff and Students will be taking part in a range of fundraising activities throughout our Charity Week (23rd – 27th October 2023) to raise money for their elected charities. Every penny counts towards helping to improve awareness, support and networks for young people with cancer.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe – and JustGiving will never sell them on or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money goes directly to Megan's Rose of Hope.
