Cancer is crap. And what's more crap than children suffering cancer?! There's a couple of students at my school that are having to go through this, and it's so unfair. One of those is a member of my tutor group who was first diagnosed in primary school. After being in remission after battling like an absolute hero, she was diagnosed with a secondary cancer 2 months after starting at secondary school, completely disrupting her chance to settle in properly. She is currently battling like a hero again.

Each kid having to go through this is superhuman and I am in awe of their, resilience, strength, positivity and determination.

The Pied Piper Appeal, among other amazing charities provide support to kids in Gloucestershire having to go through illnesses and disabilities. If you want to know more about what they do, read below.

Thank you SO much for any donation you are willing to give!

The Pied Piper Appeal was founded in 1992 by local hairdresser Peter Hickman and £4 million was pledged to build a new Children's Centre at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The money was quickly raised with the centre opening in 2004.

Since then, The Pied Piper Appeal have continued to fund the Children's Centre along with supporting SEND Schools with equipment and resources, Sending children with life-limiting illnesses and their families on memory making Wish Holidays, and improving children's experience with Mental Health facilities.
