I'm hoping to raise £1500 through this page and also a charity rugby league match in Stoke this March, and any other madness I can think of. Below is a list of what total donations can pay for at Clic sargent.

£8 could pay for a copy of What now? CLIC Sargent’s new booklet to help parents and carers whose child has just been diagnosed with cancer to understand how it may affect them.
£15 could pay for a copy of CLIC Sargent’s DVD to help families where a child or young person has died of cancer to understand and cope with their grief.
£33 could pay for a family to stay overnight in one of CLIC Sargent’s eight Homes from Home, providing free self- catering accommodation near to specialist children’s cancer treatment centres, which are often many miles from a family’s own home. Staying in a Home from Home ensures a family can be close to their child during treatment.
