Earlier this week Cancer Fund for Children’s CEO Phil Alexander met with Mark Regan, CEO of Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group and Roary the Lion to announce the exciting news that Kingsbridge Private Hospital are sponsoring this year’s Daisy Ball, which for the first time is taking place in its new location - the Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin on Friday 20th September. We are so grateful to Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group, for their ongoing partnership with Cancer Fund for Children which will help us continue to ensure that no child across the island of Ireland has to face cancer alone.   #TogetherThroughCancer #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CSR

It’s #ThankYouThursday! 🥳 This week we want to say a massive thank you to Councillor Andrew Gowan for raising £80,832 in support of our vital services, during his time as 23/24 Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council 🙌 Speaking on this Cllr Gowan said: "Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible. The generosity of local groups and individuals is truly remarkable. I also want to thank my Charity Committee and everyone at LCCC for their support in organising all the events, including an unforgettable Mayor's Charity Dinner at Larchfield Estate, which alone raised over £25,000 on the night!” We are completely blown away by this incredible amount which will make such a difference in the lives of children and young people impacted by cancer 💛 ✨ If you are feeling inspired and want to get involved in fundraising, we would love to hear from you!

“I encourage everyone to sign up for this year’s Bog Run. You hear about cancer and think it will never happen to you, but then it does, and it can happen so quickly. When David passed away, everyone was so supportive, but no one knew what to say. Before our experience, I didn’t know much about Cancer Fund for Children or the support they provide. It’s only when we needed their services that I realised how beneficial and necessary they are.” – Lynsey 💛 Lynsey and her two daughters, Amy and Alice, lost husband and father David to cancer in August 2022. After taking on our Bog Run last year, they are sharing their experience in the hopes that it encourages others to get involved in this year's event. Sign up with your colleagues today and help us ensure families like Lynsey's don't have to face their experience alone 👇 💪 https://bit.ly/46pEDz3 #FamilyStory #BogRun #TogetherThroughCancer

We were so excited to welcome some of the families we support to W5 Belfast for a special visit this weekend 🥳 Our families had the morning exploring W5 while enjoying arts and crafts, face painting and greetings from some of their favourite characters! The Belfast Giants team also came along to deliver some one-to-one hockey lessons and we have to say, we think our families are naturals! 💪🏒 We want to say thank you to The Odyssey Trust, all the team at W5 Belfast and the incredible people who delivered our activities on the day. Because of you, families impacted by a parental cancer diagnosis got to spend quality time together, having fun and making memories 💛 #W5Belfast #FamilyTime #TogetherThroughCancer #CancerFundforChildren
