What did we do??

Who are cancer support Uk??

Cancer Support UK are a charity that provide practical and emotional support to adults and children with cancer, both during and after treatment, across the UK. They supply Cancer Kits, Chemo Kits and Kids' Kits free of charge during treatment and our Cancer Coach programme helps to resume life after cancer when treatment ends.

Why did we do it?

The motivation for wanting to raise funds fell close to home for those completely the challenge after a young family/friend was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at the age of 27. It was made very apparent that cancer can get anyone & so we set out planning the return of the crawl to raise money to support others In their time of need. We set out to raise £1000 & thanks to alot of people’s generosity we have raised a whopping £3564 before gift aid so far. This money will go a long way in supporting others with Cancer. Cancer Support UK is a unique service that helps deal with processing what your new life with and after cancer looks like - something essential to being able to get through it all!
