When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their life can be overcome by fear, grief, and uncertainty. The charity we are supporting, Young Lives vs Cancer, aims to help families with children suffering from cancer by ensuring they receive the financial support they require and are entitled to.

This September, we are hosting the Run for Young Lives charity event, aiming to raise £8400 for Young Lives vs Cancer, the amount of money needed to support a child for a year. Collectively, pupils (and teachers) will run a total of 6000km on the day, participating in individual distances up to 21km! With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of children affected by cancer, providing them with the resources they need to fight this disease and stay strong during their treatment. Your donation will go towards providing emotional support, financial assistance, and other resources that will help these families cope with the challenges of cancer.

Please join us in our mission to make sure no family has to face cancer alone. Let's show them that they are not alone in this fight! To find out more visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

UPDATE:

The Young Lives vs Cancer local Fundraising Manager Liz Blunt says a HUGE GOOD LUCK and THANK YOU to everyone taking part in the Run for Young Lives charity event today.

She said: “It’s been wonderful to recently visit Winchester College and say thank you in person to Dominic Rowland for the incredible support for Young Lives vs Cancer (formally CLIC Sargent). Our recent research shows shockingly that one in 10 young people and families say they are missing or delaying their treatment for cancer because of the cost of travel to get there. We only have the financial grants that we do thanks to the generosity of others such as those from Winchester College, family and friends. A massive thank you to everyone who has kindly made a donation so far. Hope that the Run for Young Lives goes well and thank you so much once again for your much appreciated kindness.”
