My Story

In April 2024, I'll be running the London Marathon for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust.
The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) is the only UK charity solely dedicated to helping families and individuals affected by retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer. They provide support, raise awareness and fund research into prevention and treatment.

It may be a small charity but one that deserves all the fundraising it can get. I know just how supportive and generous CHECT are for families. When my nephew was diagnosed with retinoblastoma 5 years ago, CHECT looked him and his family. They provided him with opportunities to do exciting events and activities to do whilst completing him chemotherapy. It made a time that was horrible feel that bit better. 
Unfortunately, the chemotherapy didn't stop my nephew from having his eye removed but thankfully his cancer has not spread. 
Even though treatment is complete, CHECT have still regularly in contact with my sister and nephew. They are truly an asset to families.
