Story
In the WOLF pack studio during the month of March our team will be pushing 100kg of sled weight the collective distance of the 10 highest peaks on earth 🌎 - this is 83’782 meters and it’s an absolutely huge challenge for us!
We are undertaking this mission together as a team to support Tom’s Trust’s children and families who must scale their own monumental psychological mountains after receiving a life-changing and traumatic brain tumour diagnosis.
As the biggest cancer killer of children under 16, brain tumours account for one third of childhood cancer deaths, and one in three children with a brain tumour will die. Of those that survive, 62 percent will be left with life-long disabilities (such as blindness, hearing loss, lost motor-function or learning disabilities) as a result of surgically removing the tumour, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Children are often bullied as their peers do not understand why they look different (scars/head swelling from procedures), or act differently (treatment damaging cognitive function, leaving children unable to mentally keep up with friends). Most children are also left with serious mental health issues such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression as a result of their tumour.
Your sponsorship towards our sled challenge would be immensely appreciated and will help Tom’s Trust to provide essential psychological support, including neuropsychological assessments, one-to-one psychological support, numerous workshops and support groups, parental and sibling support, school and learning reintegration help and palliative care and bereavement support.
Thank you, Steve and the Wolf team 🐺
