Story

Simply pick your fundraising challenge, set up your fundraising page and you're ready to #MakeItCount.

Get Moving: Cover 50k between 4 - 14 February in any way you choose.

Give It Up: Give up what you LOVE between 4 - 14 February. Chocoholics, say goodbye to those bars. Tea drinkers, put down the cuppa. Netflix bingers, put that subscription on pause. Time to give it up for children and young people with cancer.

Get Together: Host a bake sale and bring together your friends and family to enjoy!

We know many of us are struggling with the cost of living crisis this winter. But right now, for children and young people with cancer, and their families, household budgets are at breaking point.

They have to find, on average, an extra £730 a month just to cover everyday essentials. And as winter continues, any savings are being whittled away.

This means young cancer patients and their families aren't just facing impossible choices: they have no option but to go without - without vital treatment because they can't afford to get to hospital. Without hot, healthy meals because of rising food prices. Without heating because it's too expensive to turn on the radiator.

Every penny you raise will support children and young people with cancer, and their families. To find out more information about the challenges, click here .
