Story

In October 2016 CB Solutions were informed of the devastating news, that one of their employees 11 year old daughter Ruby, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. This is a cancer that spreads beyond the lymph nodes to distant organs.

CB Solutions decided instantly that they wanted to support the family in every way they could.  A walk has therefore been organised to help raise funds for a small Yorkshire based charity called Candlelighters.  The charity supports families facing children's cancer. Candlelighters are helping Ruby and her family by supporting them through her treatment.  They have made Ruby feel comfortable in hospital during her many hours of chemotherapy treatment providing activities and constant support and reassurance.

Half way through Ruby's treatment Candlelighters also surprised Ruby and her parents with a much needed weekend away at Centre Parcs.  The break allowed the family to recharge their batteries and prepare for the next stage of treatment.

CB Solutions have organised to do the 'Lyke Wake Walk'  on Friday 23rd June.  The walk is a 40 mile walk crossing the North Yorkshire Moors, that has to be completed within 24hrs. Please support the walkers by donating any amount possible to help them raise as much money as they can for the Candlelighters charity.  All money raised will go directly to the charity and allow them to continue their amazing work in supporting children and families in Yorkshire that are facing cancer.

Many thanks

Team CB Solutions
