Gifts in celebration

Celebrate the milestones in your life and help to save young lives.

If you've got a special occasion coming up - a wedding, birthday or anniversary - why not ask friends and family to make a donation to CHILDREN with CANCER instead?

How we can help you

We can provide pledge forms for you to send with invitations or to give out at your party.

We would be more than happy to send a thank you to anyone who has kindly donated in lieu of gifts for your special occasion - just let us know on the gifts in celebration form.

After your event, we'll let you know how much has been raised from your special occasion.

How your gift in celebration can help Jemma Mearns blowing candles on her birthday cake

Jemma Mearns blowing candles on her birthday cake

"Jemma was 10 months old when diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and spent two years having chemotherapy.

It has impacted our life in every way. A sick baby makes you feel an extreme protection, an incredible bond, as you are so aware that you could lose your child at any moment.

The dosage of chemotherapy she had as such a tiny baby means no one can know for sure what the long term damage could be.

What I do know is that Jemma is still with us because of the developments in medical research and for that my family is sincerely grateful."

Michelle Mearns, Jemma's mum
