The Christmas Dip Challenge

I'm taking part in the Christmas Dip Challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust

This December, I'm doing cold water dips and raising funds to help ensure no young person faces cancer alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity who provides specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. I'd be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you!

Advent dip

Monday 1st Dec
A couple of friends joined me for a dip at Cullercoats bay, it was wet rainy and cold but good fun 🤩 xxx 

Two year clear

Thursday 20th Nov
I’m doing this challenge to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Mathew my son at age 23 was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma in June 2023… we were all devastated and shocked at how a young healthy adult can suddenly be struck down with this disease. He very quickly started treatment &  went through cycles of aggressive chemotherapy. Whilst beating this disease it made him very ill. 
Mathew is now 2 years cancer free and we are so grateful for for the care and treatment he received along side the support of the Teenage cancer trust. Mathew is a quiet young man and has the support of his family, friends and the Teenage Cancer trust… from the weekly texts checking in on him to socials and so much more….
If you’ve read this and would like to make a difference in support of Mathew and other young adults then please donate and thank you for reading
