Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

By donating you are encouraging a lazy, overweight dad to get out and train for something important. 

When our son was diagnosed with leukaemia in September our world was turned upside down. You cannot imagine how much everything changes and it is not always easy to cope. Dexters Oddessy provides support to both the children and parents with things like coffee and cake vouchers for a lovely cafe just opposite the hospital or Christmas gifts under the tree on thr ward for all the kids. It is these little things that make this process that bit more bearable on a day to day basis when spending so much time in hospital. 

Please give what you can so they can keep up this incredible work and keep bringing the odd smile to faces of both parents and children affected by childhood cancer. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
