Story

In September me, Kate, Sophia and Millie will all be taking on the 150 challenge. 

Why 150 and why September?  Because every year 150 children in Yorkshire are diagnosed with cancer and September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Millie, who is five and Sophia, who is eight and is still on treatment for Leukaemia until December, will be completing 150 laps of our back lane in September! 

Kate will be doing 150 squats everyday and I will be running (and perhaps walking!) 150 miles over the month, which works out at 5 miles a day.

We are setting a fairly ambitious target of trying to raise £5,000 for Candlelighters and we also want to try and get five businesses to choose Candlelighters as their charity of the year for 2024.  

Candlelighters provides support to these children and families from the point of diagnosis, through treatment, and beyond.  The funds you raise will help us to provide a lifetime of support for families like ours, who need it 💛

They have helped us out with many things over the years and now we all want to give something back.
