Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.  We are holding a series of fundraising events over the coming months to raise money for Bone Cancer Research.  The campaign has been inspired by our nephew/cousin Chris who was diagnosed last year with Osteosarcoma a form of primary bone cancer.  Chris has now finished his treatment and the way he coped with everything has been inspirational.  We wanted to be able to do something meaningful to help other kids like Chris get early diagnosis and the best possible treatment and so this campaign was born which culminated with the three of us climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in September this year!

We successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and summited the day Chris was discharged from hospital, arriving back in the UK shortly before he was given the all clear!!  For all of us Kilimanjaro was both the best and worst experience of our lives and was incredibly challenging but hugely rewarding too.

Chris played football for Irlam Athletic U12's until his diagnosis and played in the Warrington League along with his twin brother Jon.  Thank you to the Warrington League for all their fundraising support to date including the charity match with Appleton Boys and also thanks to Irlam FC for their continuing support.

A Huge Thank you to Alder Root Golf Club and it's members who have raised in excess of £3000 from three events:
- A golf competition organised by the ladies section and raffle
- The longest day Golf in which an intrepid team of 8 completed a gruelling 72 holes plus a raffle
- Presidents Race Night, raffle and auction

Another huge thank you to Irlam Primary School staff and year 4 pupils for raising hundreds of pounds by holding a fun day and also Marie & Warren Dodd who ran the Manchester 10k run in support of the campaign.

Thank you to all the customers of Connect 2 Agencies who have kindly donated to the fundraising campaign and also to Irlam Rotary Club for their support.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Bone Cancer Research Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
