Jason’s fundraiser for The Alexandra Sales Trust

Gail Rawlings is raising money for The Alexandra Sales Trust

30 mile walk · 20 June 2026

The Trust has been set up to create a legacy in the memory Alexandra, who, on the 2nd April 2013 was diagnosed with Mastitis Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare, rapidly spreading soft tissue cancer. She passed away on the 16th September 2014 aged just 17. The ethos of our Trust is to support children and young people aged 1 to 24 who have been diagnosed with Cancer. The support given to Alexandra during her illness by the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey was without fault. We the Trust and her many friends are committed to raising as much money as possible to help other children in similar circumstances. Alexandra was able to benefit from a number of small charities. A personal shopper day at Top Shop. She was so excited when she came home explaining her day. She was able to have a real hair wig to feel 'normal' for her school prom and was so proud of the MAC laptop she was given. Alexandra requested it because she had every intention, when she recovered, of studying photography as an A level. These donations made her happy and gave her something positive to focus on, a distraction which helped her cope mentally with the enduring treatment. This is the aim of our Trust, to raise ‘Smile Money’. We want to give something to young people being treated for cancer . Maybe it will be another Mac Laptop or a weekend away for the family. We want to gift a memory.

Story

Harry was diagnosed in March 2025 with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) aged just 13yrs old.

It’s been an incredibly difficult time for all of us, but along the way we’ve been supported by some truly amazing people and charities. One charity that helped Harry and our family is The Alexandra Sales Trust.

The charity was created in memory of Alexandra, who sadly passed away aged 17 after battling a rare and aggressive cancer.

The trust helps support children and young people living with cancer, helping provide little gifts, treats and special moments that can make such a difference during long hospital stays and difficult treatment.

As a family going through this ourselves with Harry, we know firsthand just how much those moments of kindness and happiness mean.

To help give something back and support other families going through this, on the 20th June, Harry’s dad, uncle, cousin and a friend of his dad’s will be taking on a 30 mile walk to raise money for this incredible charity.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help bring more smiles to children who are going through the toughest time of their lives.

Thank you so much for your support, kindness and generosity - it truly means everything to us.
