In February 2010, our eight year old daughter, Hannah, lost her brave 18 month fight against Cancer. Two local Sussex Charities, Chestnut Tree House (Registered Charity No: 256789) and Children With Cancer Fund (CWCF) (Registered Charity No: 1110644), provided essential support to Hannah and our family, enriching the quality of life for Hannah and providing special memories for us all to cherish.
In order to raise funds so that the two Charities may continue to provide valuable support to Sussex children with life-limiting illnesses, we are organising a Charity Family Race Afternoon to be held on Saturday, 28 May 2011 (at Knoyle Hall, St John’s Church,Knoyle Road, Brighton). All funds raised will be divided equally between Chestnut Tree House and Children With Cancer Fund (CWCF).
To donate to Chestnut Tree House please go to: CTH
Children With Cancer Fund (CWCF).
The aim of Children With Cancer Fund (CWCF) is to raise money and distribute it to families, and causes, that are associated with children up to the age of 18 who have had, or are suffering from, a form of cancer, and who live in East Sussex/Brighton and Hove.
CWCF covers projects that will enable the children, and families of children with cancer, to have the quality of life that we would hope to have ourselves. If this means that by purchasing a piece of equipment, eg educational or medical, or a special toy, CWCF would try to buy it. Alternatively, time spent together out of the normal living environment, like a holiday, may be of benefit. If so, then CWCF would try and arrange this. CWCF may assist a local hospital/hospice to aid recovery or make the last part of a child’s life more bearable.
On the CWCF’s website athttp://www.childrenwithcancerfund.co.uk/Hannah_c.htm
you can read about the special birthday treat, CWCF gave to Hannah and all the other wishes they have granted to other children and their families.
Many Thanks in advance
