We are raising money for The Big C Foundation, a charity based in Larne that supports children diagnosed with cancer and their families. The charity was inspired by the life and cancer journey of Callum Rennie, who was affectionately nicknamed “Big C” by his father. Following Callum’s passing, his family established the foundation to help other families facing similar challenges.

What the charity does:

•Provides financial assistance to families whose child has recently received a cancer diagnosis, helping to ease the stress and costs that can arise during treatment.

•Purchases mobility and sensory equipment that can be loaned to children undergoing cancer treatment while they wait for specialist assessments and equipment.

•Supports other established charities and organisations across Northern Ireland that work with children affected by cancer.
