A few words on the charities below:

Cure Leukaemia: Every year in the UK, 14,000 people die from blood cancer. Now is the time to cure this cruel disease. Via the funding of specialist research nurses, Cure Leukaemia offers real hope to patients with currently incurable forms of blood cancer via potentially life-saving treatments. By fundraising for Cure Leukaemia, you will help us save lives and eradicate blood cancer within 25 years. 

Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity: There are currently 49,000 children in the UK living with a serious or life-limiting illness, many will not reach adulthood. Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity exists to brighten up the lives of these courageous children and their families, putting their illnesses on hold and fulfilling their greatest wishes. Their work provides a distraction, reduces feelings of isolation and lets children be children again. With your support you will be helping to grant wishes and transform the lives of 24,000 seriously ill and terminally ill children across the UK.
