Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In March 2022 our 7 year old son at the time was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma and underwent a series of 9 rounds of chemotherapy, 23 sessions of radiotherapy and a surgical procedure. Unfortunately during our sons remission he relapsed in May 2024 and the same condition came back in the same area but, this time he has to undergo more intensive chemotherapy and a bigger surgical procedure. However, with the efforts of all the staff at Oxford John Radcliffe we are very hopeful the condition will not be coming back again.

The fear that my partner and I felt at the time of diagnosis is something we wouldn’t wish on anyone. If it wasn’t for Young Lives vs Cancer this nightmare would have been unbearable.

They provide families at the most devastating time with financial, psychological and emotional support. The contact and support from the social workers is second to none. The accommodation they provide families to keep families together is amazing, a home from home.

The support they provide allowed us to focus on being there for our little boy.

Now that our son is in a better state of health I am taking this opportunity to walk from my son’s hometown of Milton Keynes to London over a period of four days taking in 20 football ground starting from Stadium MK (MK Dons) and finishing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to raise money for this wonderful charity.

En-route I will be taking in every ground in London that is in the Premier League, EFL and national league including that of Vicrage road and Wembley Stadium as these stadiums form part of my route.
