What will you do in 2014 to help children beat cancer?

Hi Everyone,

I represent Kidscan, the children’s cancer research charity based in Salford.
We’re a growing charity, and that’s really thanks to our amazing supporters who take part in all kinds of events for us every year! We don’t receive government grants for our research, so whatever supporters are able to raise by taking part in events really is vital.

Rather than making several threads for events which we would love you to take part in, I thought it would be better if I combined them into one! If you have any questions about any of them, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

3rd February
We have a collection at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium on Monday 3rd Feb.
This game was scheduled to take place on Saturday 1st but it has been moved for TV. If any of you could help out by holding a bucket for us for a couple of hours before kick off we would be extremely grateful. Please e-mail chris@kidscan.org.uk if you can.

15th February
Shark Dive for Kidscan!
Are you brave enough to get into a Shark Tank with no cage to help children beat cancer?!
Places are FREE! Sign up here - <a class="postlink" href="http://tinyurl.com/KidscanSharkDives" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://tinyurl.com/KidscanSharkDives</a>

18th May
The Bupa Great Manchester Run
The biggest 10km run in the UK! Will you join Kidscan’s Purple Posse and take to the streets to raise vital funds for our childhood cancer research? We don’t charge people to take part, so please sign up today! <a class="postlink" href="http://tinyurl.com/Kidscan-GMR" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://tinyurl.com/Kidscan-GMR</a>

15th June
The Manchester to Chester Bike Ride!
Setting of from famous Platt Fields Park in Manchester, the route will wind its way through the Cheshire countryside to Christleton Hall on the outskirts of Chester.

Riders can choose whether to take part in the one way - 53 mile route or push themselves and try out the heroic hundred miles loop!
To sign up, please visit the Bike Events website - <a class="postlink" href="http://tinyurl.com/Manc2Chester" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://tinyurl.com/Manc2Chester</a>

We are asking people to raise £50 or over each. Everyone who commits to raising this will be sent a Kidscan t-shirt to take part in! If you would like any more information please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

13th – 15th June
The Great North Swim
If you’ve got what it takes to swim 1 mile across Lake Windermere this is the challenge for you!

If you are interested in all or any of these events, please drop me a message on here, e-mail chris@kidscan.org.uk or give us a call on 0161 295 3864

Thank you very much for your time.
Hope to see you at one of our events this year!

Please share this great news!

Never ever smoke in front of one and whenever I see a kids cancer or kids hostel charity collecting they get my spare change.

Well hopefully if you're going to the Chelsea home match you'll see our volunteers outside The Etihad with buckets before the match!
 
Did you know that the ballot for the Great North Run closes today?

Why take that chance? You can have one of Kidscan’s places for FREE!

One of Kidscan's brilliant PhD Student Coleen Quinn is in today's (07/03/14) Manchester Evening News (pg 27). She is discussing her research into the psychological wellbeing of children undergoing cancer treatment.

To find out more about Coleen's research, please watch our piece on Granada Reports - <a class="postlink" href="http://tinyurl.com/KidscanGranadaReports" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://tinyurl.com/KidscanGranadaReports</a>.
