My Story

Hi all. I'm raising funds for Candlelighters by jumping off Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on July 27th!

Each year, over 150 children in Yorkshire are diagnosed with cancer. 

When a child is diagnosed, lives are turned upside down instantly: not just for the child but the entire family. Getting well again can be a long and challenging journey, emotionally, physically, and financially.

Supporting children and families throughout that journey is why our charity, Candlelighters, was formed more than 40 years ago.

Our mission is to bring light to every family affected by childhood cancer across Yorkshire by providing emotional, practical and financial support, as well as bringing hope, by investing in vital research to improve the outcomes and lives of children with cancer.
