Story

right folks back to some normality this year 2022 its back to were wee David started this journey 10 years ago yes 10 years 

Longniddry Railway Walk i know its boring but its a special place xXx





i know its been hard but its tougher for the kids in hospital..

as you know this year was a no go so if you can spare a couple of quid that would be great and hopefully ill be back scrounging next summer take care folks xxx


TARGET was 10k well his yearly anniversary smashed it xXx

every year we do stuff like Selection Box appeal and always get a great responce. Also a Walk for the wee man.

other stuff weve all done is tombolas and given the ward stuff like x-box, wiis, playstation, 3 tellys for the rooms,£500 itunes vouchers for the teenagers £300 second hand games for the consoles, the ward lost all there xmas decorations due to noravirus so we got them stuff they can wipe clean so weve done alot and everyone can be proud wether youve donated stuff done a walk or sponsored we thanks everyone xXx

the wee man didnt know how much this walk would take of , we know he would be proud of us all for continuing his legacy.....

Thanks to everyone i dont have on Facebook so cant thank you properly xx



Neuroblastoma is a childs cancer which can and does effect us all. David was ill on his 3rd birthday and is now over a year which has seen him really down loads of times but has his good days aswell. so hes that well now hes doing this walk aswell hell be minus a tumour and a kidney but hell still do it. weve nearly got through it and a lot of this is because the staff at THE SICK KIDS are awesome.

Update:- 2 more tumours have appeared 1 cancerous 1 not so hes going through Chemo again. He still wants to do stuff for his SECOND HOME The Sick Kids so the page will stay open till further notice. Thanks for all your support xxxxxxx

Update:- sadly on the 10th November Davids long battle with Cancer ended and he passed away in his sleep peacefully.... R.I.P wee man Love Mum, Dad, and brothers & sisters xxxxx
