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.

Dave White's CLIC Sargent fundraising page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
I am running for CLIC Sargent –Cancer and Leukemia In Childhood (Caring for Children with Cancer) – with which, through school, I have had a fair amount of contact. Over the years we have been unfortunate enough to have had a number of children suffer with cancer. Not only is it a terrible time for them, but also for their families. CLIC is a charity that supports whole families during the nightmare that is the serious illness of a loved one. I have witnessed for myself the invaluable care, support and guidance that CLIC provide for families and the staff of our school. Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources, CLIC are only able to offer support to two out of every three families that need it. When you realise that 10 children are diagnosed with cancer every day, it is clear that this is a very worthy cause.
When I began my training 20 weeks ago I was aiming to complete the marathon in 4 hours. However, because I am old and unfit I aggravated a previous footballing injury and am now aiming to complete it in less than 4 days! If the worst comes to the worst and I am unable to run then your generous donation will still be given to CLIC to support their work. However, please be assured that I will do my absolute best to be there on the day.
While I am running I will be thinking particularly about Jos and Felix – two brave and beautiful children in the Reception Year at St Andrew’s, both of whom have been fighting against cancer. The families of both these children speak very highly of the support that they received from CLIC when they needed it most. Their achievements and fortitude will make mine look very paltry in comparison.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this page. I hope you feel able to contribute in some way – even if it is only just a few words of encouragement!
“Run, fat boy, run!”
Dave White.
Thank you so much to the Hogg family for their generous £50.00 donation which was given "off line"!
Thanks also to the Lesley family - Hope, Ian and Alison for their £20.00 donation - and yes Hope - I will try my best not to faint on the way round!
