500,000 Steps in March for CLIC Sargent · 1 March 2021 to 30 April 2021 ·
In 2012 my then girlfriend (now wife) Sam was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. CLIC Sargent stepped in and really supported Sam and her family when it was needed most. Her social worker Jane, even helped us to find our first home once Sam was out of treatment and in remission - amazing right?
During the Covid-19 pandemic CLIC Sargent have seen a shortfall in funding of over £9million. They haven’t been supported by the government and don’t get NHS funding but the care they provide to young lives vs cancer is absolutely vital.
I’m going to be walking 500,000 steps throughout March (16,129 steps a day!) to help raise some money and awareness for CLIC Sargent. Please show any support you can by donating and sharing, or if you want to join me (and Piran) for a socially distant walk - get in touch!
Thank you :)
By participating in this challenge, I am helping CLIC Sargent support children and young people with cancer and their families. For every £35 raised, you could be paying for a family to stay one night in a Home from Home. The Homes from Home provide free self-catering accommodation close to the hospitals and are a life-line for families, helping them stay together during their childs treatment.
