The Mini Superhero Challenge has been a great way for the whole family to focus during lockdown and it has been a fantastic way to raise money for Children with Cancer UK, in memory of Isobelle. The Challenge is a fun way for children to raise money for an incredible charity, which does such great work. It has given Evie and Tommy a great sense of accomplishment, and they enjoyed doing the chores so much, they are going to carry on. The generosity we have received has blown us away – we are so grateful to everyone who has supported us.Children with Cancer UK CEO, Mark Brider said:

We fund research into the causes and treatment of childhood cancers and provide support for families affected by childhood cancer. We have accelerated breakthroughs to improve childhood cancer survival rates and find kinder, more effective treatments with fewer toxic side effects. This ground-breaking research, which would otherwise go unfunded, saves the lives of children with cancer. About childhood cancer and Children with Cancer UK’s impact Every day in the UK, 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer. Fifty years ago, only 30% of children with leukaemia survived, and for most other forms of childhood cancer survival rates were even lower. Today, thanks to our supporters and the dedication of visionary researchers like those we fund, more than 80% of young patients can be successfully treated. More vital research is needed though as there are still a number of cancers affecting children and young people with low survival rates and life-limiting side effects. Cancer remains the single largest cause of death from disease in children and young people in the UK.
