When a child is diagnosed with cancer it can seem like normal life stops and a different journey begins.

It’s a journey that tests families physically, emotionally, socially and financially. 

Every day, 10 families are told the devastating news that their child has cancer. Sean, my cousin was part of a family that discovered just that. He was diagnosed at just 8 years old and it was then that he began his 6 year fight which included constant hospital trips for tests and monitoring of his health.  It affected the whole of the family and it became a battle that the family united to fight.

Sean always tried to stay positive and strong and fought until the very end- it is because of his strong will,  thirst for life and un-deniable inspiration, that my partner and I have decided to undergo the challenge in seans honour to fundraise throughout 2009 we will undergo any challange in order to raise money for 'Rays of Sunshine' Seans chosen charity
