Lynn Weston is raising money for Clowns in the Sky
“Lynn Weston's fundraising”

on 24 July 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Clowns in the Sky is dedicated to the research and treatment of childhood brain tumours and to the welfare of affected children and their families. It's aim is to bring a smile to the face of a child and their family, by granting them a wish, which will provide distraction from their treatment. Clowns in the Sky offers discretionary support grants to enhance the quality of life for those who have been affected by childhood brain tumours.
