Story

In April of this year, one of our esteemed colleagues from Dowds Group lost their battle with cancer. We are running and walking to help raise money for Cancer Fund for Children.

We want to continue raising awareness for Cancer while remembering our colleague Gary and all those who have passed away due to this illness.

Our colleague David Gordon will be running the Belfast marathon on 3rd October for this amazing cause. This will the first marathon that Davy has ran so we would love if you could show your support for him by making a small donation.

Cancer Fund for Children's aim is to empower, connect and strengthen, so the children and their families feel equipped to deal with whatever the future may hold.
Their focus is not just on the young person, but on the whole family.

From the point of diagnosis, the Cancer Support Specialists are there to help, guide and support families at home, in their community and at their therapeutic short break and residential centre in Newcastle.

Cancer Fund for Children also help bereaved families cope with the emotional pain of losing a child to cancer.

We would really appreciate any small donation, even if you are unable to attend the event.

Thank you
