The ‘ fun ’ in fundraising !

Supporting the hospitals at school is a great way to fundraise – and so much fun too ! The lovely students at Kew Green Prep School raised £ 2,534 for Evelina London from their sponsored run , which was organised by Ellie and Selen here . Thanks so much to all of you !

Working together

An intrepid team from the global technology company Cisco took on a mega challenge across the Arctic Circle to raise £ 90,000 towards genetic cancer research at Guy ’ s and St Thomas ’.
The team of seven crossed the wilderness of northern Lapland in canoes and on foot , a distance of approximately 300km . Every member of the team has been affected by cancer in some way , many having lost close family to the disease .
The challenge was designed to make sure the struggles their family members endure as they undergo cancer treatment was never far from their minds .
This was about raising awareness and funding to help combat a ferocious and uncompromising disease . We hope that the money we raise may help develop a cure but also more effective screening programmes that might prevent others having to go through what we have all had to .
