Raising money for the Candlelighers

On the 2nd June 2022, myself and some family members will be taking part in the Lyke Wake Walk, continuously walking 40 miles across the North Yorkshire Moors, starting at Osmotherly to Ravenscar, to raise money for the Candlelighters.

In December 2021 my 7 year old nephew was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia). Since his diagnoses he has been admitted to Leeds General Infirmary - Clarendon Wing. Whilst Blake has been admitted the Candlelighters have been amazing, they offer talking therapies for families, they provide support in explaining Blakes diagnosis and help him understand his treatment a little, they have taken Blakes mum off to the on site salon to have her hair done and a massage, there is even a "dinner lady" on the ward who will cater to the ever changing taste buds of a child undergoing treatment, there are mums groups, dads groups, the list is endless.

I would like to raise money for this amazing charity as a thank you from us as a family, for making Blakes stay in hospital that little bit easier.

The money raised will be linked to Blakes name, so in years to come, when he has his own children he can tell them how much has been raised in his name.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
