Story

My name is Mark Adams and welcome to the race to the North Pole for Young lives vs Cancer. Bring your family, friends or come as a solo player to compete in the challenge of the year. Any ability or age are welcome! Open fundraising event!

The target is to reach 2,700 shots over the net to help Santa reach the North Pole. Prizes for reaching various milestones along the way. 

Young lives vs cancer is a very special charity close to my heart after they supported me during my cancer treatment. I have been fundraising for young lives ever since I was well enough to return the kindness and amazing support they gave to me and my family. 

Why 2700? It is 2,700 miles from the UK to the North Pole but also at Christmas it costs £2700 to home a family in a Home from Home house which are located in various locations throughout the UK. I know from personal experience how vital these homes are and especially at Christmas time. They allow a family to stay close to their loved on whilst they are going through treatment at no extra. This is vital as it allows the family to focus on their child going through treatment and not stress or worry about extra pressure on finances. 

Please show your support this Christmas! Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
