He’s Only Gone & Done It! Andrew’s Made It To Tottenham & Completed His Fundraising Walk For Young Lives Vs Cancer
Huge congratulations to our Andrew on completing an incredible 129-mile charity walk, visiting 20 football stadiums along the way – All in support of Young Lives vs Cancer.
His Fundraising Story
In March 2022 our 7 year old son at the time was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma and underwent a series of 9 rounds of chemotherapy, 23 sessions of radiotherapy and a surgical procedure. Unfortunately during our sons remission he relapsed in May 2024 and the same condition came back in the same area but, this time he has to undergo more intensive chemotherapy and a bigger surgical procedure. However, with the efforts of all the staff at Oxford John Radcliffe we are very hopeful the condition will not be coming back again.
The fear that my partner and I felt at the time of diagnosis is something we wouldn’t wish on anyone. If it wasn’t for Young Lives vs Cancer this nightmare would have been unbearable.
They provide families at the most devastating time with financial, psychological and emotional support. The contact and support from the social workers is second to none. The accommodation they provide families to keep families together is amazing, a home from home. The support they provide allowed us to focus on being there for our little boy.
Thanks to his determination (and probably some very sore feet!) Andrew has raised an amazing £4,638 for a cause that helps young people and their families face cancer with strength and dignity. Phenomenal.
He has achieved 92% of his fundraising goal, which is incredible. Let’s get him to 100% with £362 to go together! 💪🏻 Click here to donate.
Everyone at Coughlan Insurance, along with his family, is incredibly proud of what he’s achieved. This was no easy feat!
Thank you, Andrew, for your hard work, resilience and big heart. 💚 Check out the final post and learn more about his journey here.
