The total is in... 🥁 We're delighted to announce a monumental success in The Big Give #ChristmasChallenge 2025, smashing our original £100,000 target to raise an incredible £166,573.75! 🌟 The funds will fast track the appointment of key clinical roles needed to establish the ATICUS network, moving vital, potentially life-saving clinical trials closer to children with blood cancer across the UK sooner than anticipated. Every single donation, big or small, has contributed to this monumental total, fuelled by the generosity of individuals and incredible corporate sponsors including Westbridge Foods, Win Your Dream Bike, The Cassidy Group, Adam Hewitt Ltd and Davison’s Law. A special thank you to The Reed Foundation, our Champion Funder and Pledger CSW Cladding who matched every donation that was made! Thank you to all who donated, shared and supported our #ChristmasChallenge - without you, this wouldn't have been possible! 🎄

Brilliant to talk to @fyi_skytv at @westyouthzone about children's involvement in the riots last summer. Thanks to Hughie - not only a leukaemia survivor & fundraiser extraordinaire but also a fantastic interviewer!
