1 in 2 people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. But what happens when that person has young children?

This became personal for our lead BA, Tom Riddlestone, who was diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer in 2023. His biggest concern wasn’t just his health—it was how his diagnosis would affect his children, Luke (5) and Layla (2).

Families facing cancer deal with more than treatment. They juggle childcare, emotional support, and trying to create moments of normality—like a simple family day out.

That’s why we’re supporting The Chris Aked Foundation, a small charity helping children whose families are affected by cancer through counselling, memory-making days, and activities that bring comfort and joy.

Over 15 of us are taking part in a 40km sponsored walk to raise funds—and every penny makes a real difference.
