In memory of Harry Buckley
We support children diagnosed with cancer to relieve suffering by providing holidays

Story

I am a Beaver Scout Leader in Otley, West Yorkshire. In September 2013 a cheerful, creative and determined boy named Harry Buckley joined our Colony.

Harry had a form of cancer called Neuroblastoma, he was diagnosed in late 2011.

His determination and courage were an inspiration to us all. Whenever he attended Beavers he joined in with an enthusiastic and positive attitude.

Harry died on 8th April 2014 aged six, we will miss him greatly. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Please help me raise money for The Candlelighters Trust and the Thomas Ball Children's Cancer Fund so they can continue to help children with Cancer just like Harry.

In Harry's memory I will be riding from Workington to Sunderland, from Coast to Coast from 17th May - 19th May 2014.

I want to split any sponsorship between the two charities chosen by Harry's family, this page is for donations to The Thomas Ball Children's Cancer Fund.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

The photo shows Harry receiving an Award for Meritorious Conduct from the Scout Association.

About the charity

The object of the charity is to relieve sickness and distress among children suffering from cancer and their families. The trustees do this in any way that will be beneficial to the sick child & family. This is usually in the form of free holidays taken in one of the charity's properties on the coast in Hampshire. It also provides play/medical equipment for hospitals/individuals, organises special treats, raises awareness of childhood cancer & donates funds for UK neuroblastoma research
