We'd like to wish Robbie and family the best of luck ahead of the Antrim Coast Half Marathon this Sunday 🏃

Robbie and his cousin Charlie, Andrew's brothers Ian and and Jack along with Ian's fiance Amy chose to tackle to Antrim Coast Half, along with the months of training and fundraising that come with it in memory of their friend, Andrew.

Andrew would have been 21 this year and absolutely adored running so taking on the Antrim Coast Half in his memory is such a special way of honouring Andrew and his passion whilst also raising vital funds for other children and young people facing cancer and their families. 💖

We really can't thank you all enough for everything you've poured into this. GO TEAM! 🤩

If you'd like to support Robbie and team, then you can head to their fundraising page below. Thank you! ☺️

A huge thank you to the incredible Boyd family following their latest fundraiser in memory of their son and brother, Oran.

Their recent Quiz night raised an amazing £9,130 for Young Lives vs Cancer, a truly phenomenal total and another brilliant show of support from everyone who continues to get behind the family and their fundraising.

This latest even brings the Oran Boyd Live Forever Fund to an incredible £49,343 raised!

We are so grateful for the continued support. Your commitment to fundraising in Oran's memory is truly special, and every pound raised helps us be there for children and young people with cancer and their families.

What an amazing legacy you continue to build - Thank you.

A huge thank you to Marco Campbell MWD for his incredible generosity in donating a professional mattress and carpet clean at Paul's House, worth several hundred pounds. Not only did Marco provide an amazing service, but he was an absolute gentleman throughout. His kindness and willingness to support the families staying at Paul's House will make a real difference.

To top it all off, Marco also shared a post about us on his own page. Thanks to his support, hundreds of people have now learned about the work we do. Even more amazingly, other local businesses have reached out to volunteer their services free of charge.

It's a wonderful reminder of how one act of kindness can inspire many more.

From everyone at Young Lives vs Cancer, and the families who will benefit from your generosity, thank you, Marco. We are so grateful for your support. 💙
