Survival for children with cancer and leukaemia has improved from 10% in 1970 to around 75%. The clinical trials and laboratory research conducted by members of Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG) has been a major factor in this. The CCLG is the only charity dedicated to supporting the work of those looking after children and teenagers with these life-threatening illnesses. The Group is committed to research and development in the treatment of cancer in these age groups. But although childhood cancer treatment is, rightly regarded as a great success, it should not be forgotten that still today three out of ten children diagnosed with cancer will not survive their disease. The ultimate aim of CCLG is to maximise cure while minimising the early and late side effects of treatment. Information for families of children with cancer is an important issue and to help support both the children and their families we produce a wide range of award winning publications which are available free of charge. Caring for children and curing their cancer remains our goal.
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.

Hi, thanks for visiting our page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor us and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities.

Jerry, Nick and I are raising funds for Children's Cancer Charities by riding from John O'Groats to Land's End on quad bikes, in memory of Jerry's son Rob, who lost his fight against cancer in June 2008, aged 13.
The trip has been made even more poignant as Jerry was subsequently diagnosed with throat cancer in April 2009 and the idea of this trip helped him through his treatment.
Our adventure begins on the 14th May 2011 and we hope to complete the trip and be back home by the 25th May!
The journey will take us via the West of Scotland, Hadrian's Wall, Polaris HO, NFU Mutual HQ in Stratford upon Avon and Salisbury; both on and off road!
Please give as generously as you can for our nominated charities.
HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED SO FAR
