Fundraiser of the Month: Sydney

We couldn’t be doing what we’re doing, investing in research and supporting families, without our amazing fundraisers, large and small.

Fundraiser of the Month for January 2024 is awarded to Sydney, who shaved her head in memory of her Grandpa, Bill.

26 February 2024

What’s the fundraising challenge you set yourself and why?

I decided to shave my head to raise money for children’s cancer research and care, I set a target of £1500 which then changed and I decided to aim for £2000.

How’s your challenge going? If it’s completed – how did you find it?

It’s finished and I raised £4168. I really enjoyed the positive reactions I got from people. My school was really encouraging. My hair looks ok, but I do need to wear a beanie when it’s cold.

What would you say to anyone else who is considering taking on a fundraising challenge?

My grandad died of cancer, and I am sad there is no cure, I also think it’s especially sad for children to get cancer so I thought I would try to help.

How you can help
