We are raising money for an amazing Charity - Young lives vs Cancer.

Last month our lives were turned upside down when we heard the words no parent ever thinks they'll hear... Our awesome, beautiful 13 year old daughter Chelsea has Leukemia.

Chelsea had been under the weather, she was so tired all the time, she wasn't eating properly and she began to have fainting episodes. Within 24 hours of taking her to the hospital for a blood test we were transported to the childrens Cancer ward in Southampton. Since then our lives have been a whirlwind.

No one anticipates everything that comes after a diagnosis, work, rent, bills, childcare, accommodation, travel expenses... We were completely lost, trying to focus on Chelsea aswell as all of the other worries we found ourselves having.

That's when we met our incredible social worker from young lives vs cancer. Nicky and the charity have been an absolute god send. Full of compassion and empathy for our situation and the situation so many others find themselves in. Taking the lead and helping in anyway they can and sign posting to other services available to us.

Although we're just at the beginning of our journey we have witnessed first hand what this amazing charity covers and the help they give to lessen the burden on an already devastating situation. We would love to do something to help so many others in the same situation.

My amazing Husband Joe will be doing a Charity Sky dive in September to raise money for Young lives vs Cancer so they can continue to help so many people with everything they do.

So please donate if you can! The minimum required for the jump is £395... but I think with all of your love and support we can atleast double that!

When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
