Fundraising for Kidscan
Story
Thank you for visiting, this page is in memory of our beautiful daughter and sister, Maddie. All donations, money from events and ongoing sponsorships will be entered here.
In January 2009, our little girl died suddenly from Burkitt's Lymphoma, a rare and aggresive cancer. We found the charity KidsCan, a children's cancer research organisation connected to Salford University, trying to develop and improve cancer treatments for children.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. By using this site KIDSCAN gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Keep looking here for events throughout the year, you never know you might just want to get involved !!!!!
