Almost 4,000 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK. That’s ten every day. Children with Cancer UK is the leading national children’s charity dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer. They fund life-saving research into the causes, prevention and treatment of childhood cancer and work to protect young lives through essential welfare programmes.

All the money raised will be invested into vital specialist research to save the lives of every child with cancer and keep their family together longer. We've been inspired by brave, little Kenton Joe Ritson, of Water in Rossendale, who lost his own battle with Cancer in 2017. We're so proud to be doing these events in honour of your memory. An incredibly brave young man from an incredibly brave family.
