My story
I was meant to have finished this site on my 12th birthday and indeed thanks to all the support I got was able to hand CLIC SARGENT a cheque for over £70K on that day!
Unfortunately my cancer has returned but I'm still determined to raise as much money for CLIC SARGENT as possible whilst I'm going through treatment. Ideally I want to get to £100K
By donating to this site you are not only helping other families like mine but also me because I know that this site and my fundraising will keep me focused on getting better and at the same time support this great charity....So go on make our day!!!
You can follow my progress on STAR RADIO www.star107.co.uk where my mates MARK and TINY will let you know how I'm doing.
21/06/07 YIPEE WE HAVE DONE IT!!!! Thanks to the fundraising efforts of my mates in year 7 of SOHAM VILLAGE COLLEGE (raising over £3K) we have taken the figure over 100K. Thanks also to the guys who did the tractor run and raised another £2.1K and David Haird Motosports who put up over £3 K in funds towards the ENDURANCE RALLY! WHAT A WEEK, I have my scans tommorow and hope to continue in finishing the week on this high. I'm proud to have acheived my target because I know CLIC SARGENT will put it to good use...SO THANKYOU I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU ALLxxxx
12/7/07 Red Lodge carting have raised over £12,300 so far(a huge effort by everyone),with support from many local firms,and a special thanks to D Haird-they have raised £3000 plus for this event.
14/07/07 Thanks to all at SOHAM UTD for the tremendous donation of £1K which I collected today. Soham is a great place to live coz the community really comes together as any one who attended the football tournament today could tell you. Special thanks to Rita Parker and her son Andy and all those who work tirelessly to make the club days like this a sucess. YOUR MONEY WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO FAMILIES LIKE MINE :--) xxxx
25/07/07 Thanks to WITCHFORD COLLEGE and ST ANDREWS PRIMARY SCHOOL (SOHAM) who between them have raised £1K for my charity. I was amazed to break £100K but even more pleased with the continual local support which has already added another 10K to the total. That 10K will make an enormous difference to CLIC SARGENT so keep it coming!!!
03/09/2007 A week since coming back of my holiday and in that week we have raised almost 1K thanks to the following people; SARAH GAUSDEN who hosted a CANDLELITE PARTY at POPPIES in Soham and with the restuarant serving teas and coffees and a lady giving hand and feet massages managed to raise a magnificent £315. CHERRY HINTON FC who held a tournament and raised £200 thanks to DAVE HERON and his staff. Kate who held a wedding show in CAMBRIDGE yesterday and did a balloon release raising over £230 and the TURNER FAMILY of SOHAM who raised £200 at a private open day for vintage combines and machines....THANKYOU GUYS.
I would also like to thank DAVID PALMER the father of one of my schoolfriends who cycled from his home in WICKEN to HUNSTANTON raising £500 unfortunately I was on holiday so couldn't wave him off at start or finish...I don't know how he MANAGED THIS FEAT BECAUSE I GET PUFFED OUT CYCLING ROUND THE BLOCK!!! thankyou ;---)
23/09/07 Thanks to all those who took part in the PJ5K at WANDLEBURY yesterday and I hope you're legs aren't aching today. I'm now back at school full time, my hairs back and I'm currently well. The image now showing is of my school friends at Soham Town football club. We are aiming to buy another caravan for CLIC SARGENT so keep the money coming because time away as a family is so important when you're going thru treatment and I should know because we have been up to the first caravan for a break and had such great fun that for that time I forgot I had cancer!! You're money really does make a difference to families like mine and if we get another caravan it means more families can benefit from a break. SO THANKYOU xxx
06/11/07 I know I haven't updated this for some while and lots has happened, Thankyou to everyone who has helped keep this fundraising going, you are keeping me going too!!! :--) STAR RADIO has just won the EUROPEAN RADIO COMMUNITY AWARD for the concept of LIAMS MILE, this only months after they won a national award and I'm really proud of Mark and the team because they really deserved to be recognised for all they have done. They are promoting a CHRISTMAS RECORD this year, produced by BLACK PIG and all money goes to CLIC SARGENT so if you go to the STAR LINK above you can download it and help make adifference to families like mine. I'm now only a month a away from my op on my lung and can't wait to get it out of the way before christmas...maybe I'll get my wish to be cancer free for the NEW YEAR. Love to U ALL . Thanks for your continued support xxxxx
30/11/07 Amongst the many events happening,Sir Wale's,Soham Village College's history teacher was kindly lent a suit of armour from a Welsh company,in order to raise money by wearing the suit all day.Blisters and all.
4/12/07 Well D DAY is nearly here my op is tommorow and so I may not update this for a little while. I'm scared but know that once i get over this I can finally say "IM CANCER FREE" Thanks to everyone who donated on STAR today to hear MARK squirm with some bugs and well done to MARK because you made my day!!! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. This month is child cancer awareness month so rather than sending a card why not by one of CLIC SARGENTS "SURVIVOR BEARS" which represent the 7 out of 10 children who survive cancer and the journey they go through in overcoming physical and mental disbilities. YOU can make a difference, you have made a difference and we can all continue to do so. Thanks for your support xx
