Story

Natasha's son Lukas was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just 7 months old. During that time, Natasha, Sam and Lukas were supported by the Candlelighters charity who were absolutely amazing! You can read more about them here Candlelighters | Supporting Children with Cancer & Families

Although Lukas is now doing fantastically well, CMS B Team (Tasha, Mark, Stef, Harry, Julie and Rachel) would like to do something to raise money for this wonderful charity. Candlelighters have created an event, 150 miles in September and we've decided to sign up to it! This runs from 1st September until 30th September and equates to 5 miles per day- 900 miles between us over the month!! As someone who rarely gets up to 8,000 steps I'm particularly nervous!! If you would like to join us, you can sign up on the link below:

We're taking on the 150 Miles in September challenge for Candlelighters - and we need your support. 💛

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and every mile we cover is for a family in Yorkshire affected by childhood cancer. Candlelighters is a charity that provides vital support, care and comfort to children and families during the toughest times of their lives.

Your donation - big or small - can make a real difference.

💛 £5 could give a parent in hospital a nutritious meal

💛 £16 could fund a Family Support Worker for an hour

💛 £30 could provide a night of accommodation close to the hospital

💛 £50 could fund a child's birthday box

Thank you so much for supporting our fundraiser and helping to make a difference to families across Yorkshire.
