Thanks in advance for your support and for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to undertake my 1st ever Marathon on 3rd or October 2021 by competing in the London Marathon. I know it seems along time away but thought I would get ahead of the fundraising, as it won't be long in coming around, I have chosen to do this in support for Clic Sargent, through working with JD Wetherspoons for nearly 9 years I got the chance to work a lot with this charity in various fundraising events over the years and since moving to a new job I wanted to show my continued support towards them in anyway I could. These guys do some fantastic work and offer various support mechanisms for children, young people and their families affected by cancer.  I'm sure we have all been touched by this terrible disease at some point in our lives but the thought of it affecting our own children, young relatives, etc. isn't worth comprehending.

Some of the support these guys offer are:

Day to day Support: Social workers that will help you through the challenges that cancer can bring

Financial support: Clic Sargent care teams work with young people and families to help them get vital financial support. They arrange CLIC Sargent grants and help them get the benefits and other support they’re entitled to. They also help liaise with young people’s employers and sort out housing issues to keep families together, because day-to-day life doesn’t stop when you have cancer.

For me the best support they offer is the 

Home from home: They can suppport you with a home from home close to hospitals, where families can stay during treatment for free. These reduce the financial cost and emotional impact of cancer, keeping families together when it matters most. 

Any kind donation would really be appreciated and help go along way supporting families, young people and children in their fight against this horrible disease. I for one am looking forward to the challenge ahead of running this marathon for the fight!
