From 12 years old to eight years of making a difference… what an incredible journey.
Eight years ago, a 12-year-old boy decided he wanted to make a difference for people affected by cancer. That boy was Ibby.
This year, to celebrate his 8th anniversary of fundraising for Maggie’s Oldham, Ibby set himself a goal of raising £888 – representing the age he started (12) and his incredible eight years of support.
Not only did he reach his target… he smashed it!
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of everyone who donated, Ibby has raised an amazing £1,208!
These photos say it all – on the left, a 12-year-old beginning his fundraising journey, and on the right, eight years later, still showing the same passion, kindness and determination to support people living with cancer.
Ibby, from everyone at Maggie’s, thank you. Your unwavering commitment over the last eight years has been truly inspiring. Every pound you’ve raised has helped us continue providing free practical, emotional and psychological support to people with cancer and those who love them.
You should be incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved. We’re certainly proud to have you as part of the Maggie’s family.
