Story

Hello!

I am taking part in the Marathon Des Sables in March 2022. It is classed as the toughest foot race in the world and I will be running 250km in 7 days whilst carrying all my own kit in the Sahara Desert with temperatures in excess of 50 C! 

I met Lorraine (Milly’s Mum) through my good friend Jonny and was amazed by the awesome work she does through Milly’s Smiles. I am hoping to raise money for Lorraine and her team so they can help families in their time of need……please give what you can as every single penny goes to Milly’s Smiles! Jonny’s story is below:

“Our world was turned upside down when we were told our 4 year old son had cancer and then we found ourselves living on the kids cancer ward with the clothes we walked in with.
We met Lorraine on that ward and were devastated when Milly passed away.
Lorraine created Milly’s Smiles in her honour and the bags are now given to every family when they get to hear that same life changing news their child has cancer.
We have witnessed families being given a Milly’s bag of essential items and it offers a very small piece of light in a very dark time. I couldn't think of a more worthy charity. Thanks Ross ❤️👊”.
