Wipe Away Those Tears grants special wishes for children in Essex, with life limiting or life threatening illnesses. We have no overheads or administrative costs, so every penny raised goes to the intended cause. Our application process is so simple. We want to help as many families as possible.

Story

This April, the 3 of us will be running 250km, split into 6 stages, across the Sahara desert. Dubbed “The toughest footrace on Earth”, the Marathon des Sables in Morocco is about to see 3 (very) average athletes from Essex take on this huge challenge, and hopefully raise some cash for a cause close to our hearts.

Wipe Away Those Tears helps children in Essex with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses, with every single penny going straight to the cause.

Thank you so much to everyone in advance for your generosity, we’ll be keeping our journey documented and will make sure to keep you all updated along the way.

All the best,

Dom, Tom & Harrison
