My story

Just a little bit of background info about the '10k for Alfie' from his dad:

 

We are running this 10K to support Candle Lighters.  

www.candlelighters.org.uk

 

My little boy Alfie, who is 3, has been diagnosed with leukaemia.

 

We took him to the doctors on Monday 16th of January. We were then referred to the Leeds General Infirmary on Monday afternoon. He was seen by several consultants and by Monday evening he was admitted to the Oncology ward 79 in the Clarendon wing. On Tuesday morning we were told he had Leukaemia and by Tuesday afternoon he had started Chemo.

 

Candle Lighters are a locally based, locally staffed and locally run charity. They support children and their families in Yorkshire suffering with Cancer. Candle Lighters paid for a playroom on the ward, staff to run it, the dinner ladies, nurses etc. However, it is not open all the time because the government will not fund it and Candle Lighters only have limited resources.

 

So it’s fair to say that someone you know or know of will have probably benefited from their sterling efforts. 

 

Please Dig Deep and Give What You Can.

Thank You.
