Story
Are we barking mad? (Yup – what’s new?)
But at the moment the world is in a pickle and it often feels like there’s nothing we can do. We are lucky enough to have children and grandchildren who live in a safe place with available health care. So this year we are doing something barking mad to raise some money for all the grandchildren out there who are not so lucky.
With a bunch of others, and sharing a car with two old pals, we are going to barrel round France and Spain in a respectably elderly vehicle hoping our friends will help us turn this lunacy into something useful by donating to our just giving site. We will be sharing any money raised between War Child and The Teenage Cancer Trust. (links below for more information) Please help!
WAR CHILD
"When conflict breaks out, we aim to reach children as early as possible and stay on to support them long after the cameras have gone home. We help keep children safe and help them to heal and learn.
We understand children’s needs, respect and stand up for their rights, and put them at the centre of everything we do – because just one child caught up in conflict is one child too many.

TEENAGE CANCER TRUST
Today, seven young people in the UK will hear the words “you have cancer”.
They will each need sensitive, individual care and support to help them through the hardest time they’ve faced.
Help our expert nurses and youth workers be there for them.
