Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Our managing director of Checkatrade.com, Gavin Dutton, HATES dancing. The idea of dancing in front of people makes him feel sick!

Which is why this is the perfect challenge for him!

We're helping to make Sam Hedger's bucket list dreams come true via the Checkatrade Foundation.

Sam was first diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at the age of two. He fought this battle bravely and was given the all clear. 14 years later, sadly the cancer returned. At just 16 years old Sam had his left leg and part of his pelvis removed. After chemo he had seemingly beat the disease once again. However, in spring of this year Sam started getting pains again and after yet more tests he was given the devastating news that the cancer was back and this time it's here to stay.

Ever the optimist, Sam is cracking on with life with a smile and has compiled his bucket list.

Our aim to help Sam make an extra tick on this bucket list!

To do this, we've challenged Gavin to perform a dance for us in front of up to 250 people! Gavin has ONLY agreed to do this if we reach our target of £250!

Anything you can give would be so greatly appreciated!
