At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

Last year I completed the MyRideLondon 100 mile cycle.  I had intended to complete the London Classics by swimming the Serpentine last September, but this was unsurprisingly cancelled.  Well, this year the Serpentine is back on - two laps of the lake to make 2 miles and I've also been lucky (I think!) in getting a ballot place for the London Marathon on 3 October

I'm supporting Young Lives vs. Cancer again - they help children and young people during very difficult times with their own health.  As with so many charities their income has drastically dropped over the past year or so: for Young Lives vs. Cancer by more than 60%. 

Thank you so much for supporting me in my previous attempts at cycling and running.  If  you could spare a few pennies to help Young Lives vs. Cancer and the children and young people they help I would be so grateful.  Unfortunately, their illneseses don't go away or get put on hold during a pandemic - they still really need that help and support.

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