We’re thrilled to share that the 150 Miles in September challenge has raised an incredible £24,000 for Candlelighters! Supporters took on 150 miles throughout September… walking, running, cycling… turning every step into a step towards supporting children with cancer and their families. Thanks to this amazing effort, every mile and every penny will make a real difference. The funds raised could provide 1,500 hours of vital support from our expert Family Support Workers, bringing comfort, guidance, and practical help to families when they need it most. A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated, or cheered people on. Your support really makes a difference, helping families affected by childhood cancer feel cared for and less alone. Take a look here to keep up to date with our latest fundraising events and challenges.
The challenge was inspired by the fact that around 150 children are diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire each year.
