Story
We are once again running the Westminster Mile but this time we are doing it as a four! We were so inspired by your generosity to this worthy cause that we all wanted to be involved this time around.
Again we are raising funds for Mighty Mossy, a Special Named Fund at CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association. September is also🎗Childhood Cancer Awareness Month🎗so the timing of this is just right.
The run is in memory of Amos (Mossy) who passed away at just six years old. We wish to continue to honour his legacy and support the work of those seeking to put an end to cancer.
The words of Charlotte, Amos’ mum, are below:
We chose to set up this fund so that more important research can be done into kinder and gentler treatment methods for children with leukaemia. We’re unsure of whether it was the cancer or the treatment or both that led to Amos suddenly passing away, but we would like to help make a difference to other children diagnosed with this terrible disease.
We want Mighty Mossy to fund more research into ALL and the treatment options that are available for children. We would like as many people as possible to be able to fundraise for CCLG and do it in Amos’ memory, honouring him and continuing his legacy of love and laughter.
This run, albeit one mile, gives us the opportunity to fundraise for this fantastic, and much needed fund, in order to help other children and their families in the future. We would be super grateful for anything you can donate. Ultimately, it’s not about the run, it’s about saving children’s lives.
