Doing it for Daniel

17/09/2026

This week we have helped 3 very young children and their families dealing with cancer. A baby of five months, a one year old and a seven year old. We provided grants for toys to help during hospital treatment as well as a financial grant for one of the families. Sent with every good wish and so much love from everyone at the charity and of course our beautiful Daniel 💛🎗️

Thank you to everyone who supported our recent golf day Trump Turnberry. Thanks also to the businesses who sponsored our holes. We raised just under £41,000. Every penny will be spent on children and young adults dealing with all kinds of cancer and brain tumour research. We couldn’t do this work in Daniel’s name without every person who has supported us these past 5 years 💛🎗️

We are so grateful and want to say a huge thank you to all the staff and their supporters across the emap/ Metropolis Group - the emap Mental Health First Aid team will
be taking on their longest walk to date, covering an incredible route
starting in Wandsworth Town and following the river all the way to Hampton Court on the 3rd September. It’s a beautiful stretch, but at an impressive 30km distance it’s definitely one that will push them.
All monies raised for this event will be split 50/50 between two incredible
charities, The Brain Tumour Charity and the Doing It For Daniel Foundation.
We would be incredibly grateful for any donations, no matter how big or small 💛🎗️ https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/16142/2026-emap-and-metropolis-mental-health-hike-30km/

Today we helped 2 children coping with cancer treatment. We provided the family of a 2 year old some funding for toys and activities for a lengthy stay for treatment in hospital. We also sent a financial grant to the family of an 8 year old as they embark on further treatment after a cancer relapse. Gifts from our beautiful boy Daniel. Forever 17. He would be so happy to know he is still helping children. We hope he can see everything we are doing in his name 💛🎗️

A few of Daniel's friends are taking part in the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for his charity. The challenge involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike), and Wales (Yr Wyddfa/ Snowdon), while travelling between each, all within 24 hours. In total, they will cover around 23 miles of walking, over 3,000 metres of ascent, and hundreds of miles by road. If you would like to support these incredible young men please have a look at their Just Giving page. .molinari .hall .

In the past week we have been busy helping 6 young people coping with a cancer diagnosis aged 5 months, 11, 15, 16, 20 and 21. We gave financial grants to help with days out and treats, new clothes, a family holiday to mark end of treatment and a new laptop. We also continue to be busy providing respite breaks at Daniel’s Beach House in Ayr. This summer we have enjoyed meeting visitors from all around the UK. Everything we do is from our wonderful son Daniel who we miss so much every day 💛🎗️

We have been busy this summer providing families with breaks at Daniel’s Beach House in Ayr and with our gifts and grants service. In the past week we provided funding for children aged 8, 10 and 11 as well as a 21 year old. These funds were used for arts and crafts equipment, new clothes, family days out and a new bed. Thank you to everyone who supports our work. You allow us to help children and young adults going through the most difficult situations. Of the young people we have helped recently a couple have relapsed and one has been dealing with a limb amputation. Cancer in a young person is truly devastating. We try to bring a tiny bit of care and kindness to these young people experiencing the most difficult times 💛🎗️

We have been a little quiet on here lately but we have been very busy in the charity. Summer is always busy at Daniel’s Beach House and I (Alison - Daniel’s mum) always love meeting the families enjoying a break with us in Ayr. Our gifts and grants service is always busy and we have helped young people of a variety of ages during the past month. We have provided funding for a new computer, guitar equipment, new clothes and toys. We are the chosen charity at Bonnyton Golf Club in Eaglesham for their charity golf day on 25th July. It will be an amazing day with the opportunity to play a really wonderful course. If you know a member there get them to invite you along to play in their team. Brian and I will be there and we are looking forward to meeting everyone taking part ⛳️ 💛🎗️
