On the 7th of June I will be taking part in a sponsored skydive with the University of Southampton's RAG. I have chosen to jump for CLIC Sargent, a children's cancer charity, which aims primarily to give support to both the patients and their families.

Each day, 10 children from the UK find out the terrifying news that they have cancer. 

"CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. We provide clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. We are there from diagnosis onwards and aim to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment and, in some cases, bereavement."

In brief, CLIC Sargent provides emotional support, information on the effects of cancer diagnosis, financial support, employment advice, a telephone welfare advice service, free accommodation so families can be near their child during treatment, free holidays/ specialised short breaks for the children and their families, education support and where available, play specialists and support from the charity's nurses who do their best to maximise the time children spend at home.

I am aiming to raise as much money as possible in the next few weeks, and I would really appreciate any sponsors, however big or small!

"£1.50 could help pay for a set of colourful storybooks for a child aged under 10, putting cancer into words and illustrations that help them understand and cope with what's happening to them"

"£20 could pay for a CLIC Sargent Play Specialist to help a child prepare for and cope with treatment"

"£50 could mean that a CLIC Sargent Social Worker can be there soon after diagnosis, talking to a family one-to-one"

"£300 could pay for an average family stay of 11 days in a Home from Home - close to where their child is receiving cancer treatment"
