Region’s landmarks glow gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Karen has partnered with Children’s Cancer North to encourage more people across the North East and Cumbria to fundraise and donate money to our charity, so we can continue to make life better for children with cancer.

Chris Peacock, Chairman of Children’s Cancer North, said:

“More than 100 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the North East and Cumbria every year. Around 80 go on to make a full recovery; sadly around 20 children and young people die from the disease every year.

“As a direct result of the fundraising and donations we receive from members of the public and local businesses, we’re able to invest in revolutionary research to help ensure that one day, no child dies from cancer. We also provide support to children and families going through cancer treatment in the form of events and activities on the wards, a cost of living payment to help families get through those first stressful days and weeks after their child is diagnosed, social outings for teenagers, and much, much more.

“If anyone wants to support Children’s Cancer Awareness Month this September, please donate to Children’s Cancer North. Your money will make a difference to the hundreds of families affected by the disease in our region every year, and help raise awareness of the impact of childhood cancer on children and young people.”
