Story

Thanks for visiting our permanent fundraising/ memorial page. This has been set up under Will Falck's name to support CLIC Sargent, who provide care and support for young adults, such as Will, with Cancer. This was a much loved charity by Will himself.

This page will be the basis of all fundraising events in memory of Will. 

Upcoming Events


Harry Edwards’ Everest Challenge!

Harry, age 11 and Nephew of Will, is climbing the height of Everest by summiting  Moel Famau in North Wales 23 times in June to raise money for the charity.
