Charity
CLIC Sargent helps children and young people with cancer and their families with the trauma of diagnosis, the often long journey through treatment and continues to support them afterwards. Every day 10 families are told that their child has cancer. Diagnosis often comes as a shock. Treatment usually starts straightaway and can last up to three years. CLIC Sargent is there with clinical, practical and emotional support, every step of the way.

Duncan Pow's fundraising page
Hi,
I will be taking part in the 2012 London Marathon to support the Charity which helped my family while my young cousin battled cancer. My cousin Westley was just two years old when he was first diagnosed with cancer in 1993 and was treated at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. My family became the first to stay at CLIC Sargent’s Home from Home in Oxford, which offers free self-catering accommodation so families can stay together while a child is being treated for cancer.
My cousin had cancer just about all the way through his life. The impact it had on his parents, myself, and the extended family was massive. Emotionally it was tough on all of us as there is nothing you can do, you just feel utterly helpless.
Ten years after my cousin was first diagnosed with cancer the disease returned and he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Sadly Westley died in 2006, aged 16.
I'm now a Patron of CLIC Sargent and that’s why I’m taking part in the London Marathon, I want to support CLIC Sargent in any way I can having seen first-hand the incredible work they do supporting families affected by childhood cancer.
So please sponsor me now!
