Story

This page is supporting www.justgiving.com/teams/target250k

Hi there, 

And a massive thank you for visiting our latest fundraising page, all funds raised through this page will be ring fenced towards our main team fundraising page which can be found at www.justgiving.com/teams/target250k as our quest to get to £250,000 after the success of raising £50,000 in less than a year for CLIC Sargent Children with Cancer continues. 

The latest event in our busy schedule sees me (Luke),Ben,Greig,Triston,Liam, and Malc tackle an enormous challenge as we walk 100km (62.1 miles!) from the Olympic Park in London to Cambridge. A huge challenge which will test us to the very limit. The prospect of staying awake for over 24 hours provides its own unique challenge but with the added pressure of doing it while walking this huge distance makes this a gruelling but hugely worthwhile challenge. 

Each of us doing it have paid our entry fee ourselves and also committed to raising £475 each giving us this cracking group target of £3800 to aim for. 

Most of you will be aware of the work we have done in the last 6 years or so which has seen us now raise well over £125,000 in memory of my mum Veronica Claxton but for those who would like to learn more please visit our main page at www.justgiving.com/target50k or to our website www.veronicaclaxtonmemorialfund.com

As with everything we do, we do this with the passion and commitment to help not only raise vital funds for this wonderful charity but also to raise awareness and support for all Children with Cancer. CLIC Sargent are a truly magical charity doing incredible work to help support children and young people with cancer and their families. 

We love to do our bit but that is only possible through your fantastic loyal support.

I hope you can support the 8 of us in this epic challenge which begins on August 29th and give us the boost to carry out our part of the bargain.

Thank you as always
