This is a group page for Pip, Hayley, Jeny, Vicki, James, Ella,Rory and Sally! 

Amber was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma in March 2018. Since then she has had chemotherapy and laser treatment to help prevent her tumour from growing. At the last count she had had 26 general anaesthetics.

CHECT are fantastic and provide us with so much support, including story times on Zoom during lockdown. The photo is Amber loving her time with the RB play specialist on a recent hospital visit. She is amazing and makes Amber look forward to these days. Some of this money will go to resources for her to buy. 

Therefore, running 5km or 10km to raise money for the amazing charity that continue to support us as a family seems like a good idea! Thank you to Hay, Jeny and Vicki for joining in this virtual event this year. 

Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) is the UKs only charity dedicated to helping people affected by Rb. CHECT: Provides support and information to families and individuals. Funds research into the prevention and treatment of retinoblastoma. Raises awareness among health professionals and the public. Influences policy to improve services for patients.CHECT offers support to every family in the UK following a diagnosis of retinoblastoma, and provides lifelong support to anyone affected from diagnosis, through teenage years and into adulthood. As a small charity CHECT receives no government funding and relies on the kindness of others to provide services. Although all eight staff are working from home at the moment, and CHECT Support Workers are not able to meet families face to face, they are concentrating very much on supporting families by telephone and online. Please help CHECT continue to provide this vital support to families.
