Sophie & Becky's 20 Hour Spinathon for Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust

20 Hour Spinathon · 22 May 2025
Hi All, welcome to Sophie & Becky's JustGiving page! We are excited to share that we have taken on a challenge that is close to our hearts: a 20 Hour Spinathon which will take place in our school hall, on May 22nd and 23rd 2025, to raise funds for the incredible Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust. This initiative is not just about cycling; it’s about making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer.
Our inspiration comes from an amazing little boy called Jasper, who started at Burlish in September 2023. His zest for life and positive outlook has touched us deeply and continues to inspire us every day!
Jasper was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at the end of July 2022 and due to the cancer growing in his left sinus pocket he also lost sight in both his eyes.
He started the first of 9 cycles of very intensive chemotherapy the day after his 4th birthday and halfway through he had to have 6 weeks of proton beam radiotherapy at the Christie hospital in Manchester. He then had 18 months of maintenance chemotherapy to reduce any chance of the cancer returning.
Through all of the hospital visits and procedures Jasper has had to have and will continue to have, he’s shown a lot of strength and resilience all while learning to navigate his way through life without being able to see.
Jasper is now in school full time (after having to miss his first school year) and is thriving. He’s a very confident, happy and cheeky little boy who is getting stronger every day.
We believe that no child should face cancer alone. Your support can help provide vital resources and assistance for families like his. We kindly ask you to consider donating towards our target of £500. Together, we can make a significant impact in the fight against childhood cancer.
Thank-you so much for all your support, it means the world xx
