The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust

The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust is a non-profit charity based in the North of England. Marks Story.

I signed up for a white collar boxing event to raise money for Cancer Research UK in May this year in memory of my mam and gran who both died from cancer. My mam was 42 when she was told she was terminally ill and she died age 43, I was 22 but on turning 42 this year I wanted to do something big in her memory. I had always kept fit but had never had a boxing match and I aimed to raise a total of £

1000(The national UWCB record was £10,240) The night of my fight in July 2015 my total had reached £14,000 and I won my fight by TKO after 85 seconds of the first round. When my just giving page closed at the start of September 2015, my total was standing at £21,315, I am now setting up my own cancer trust and opening a charity shop and drop in centre which will all support individuals and families in County Durham and eventually the whole of the North East, who are affected by cancer. Although I have lots of events planned over the next few months, I'm planning a large cycling fundraiser for April 2016, supported by Team Cycles and Cancer Research UK, with more sponsors to be confirmed. Im planning to start on my own on my sponsored bike, One of my best friends will be coming along in a support vehicle following my journey taking part as and when. The planned route will be from John O`Groats and follow the coastline around the whole country, Each day participating in different events, sky dives, bungee jumps, half marathons, iron mans etc. linking in with Cancer Research UK and local media services. Between May and September 2015 I have raised between £26,000-£30,000 and since received the mayors scroll from Spennymoor Town council, my hometown. I am also a regional finalist for the Pride Of Britain Awards 2015, an amazing and unique experience after only five months. Please support our amazing cause and follow our journey.

The right team at the right time 💜

“When I started Team Solan ten years ago, it was just me, a cause I believed in and a community that got behind us. Since then, we’ve raised more than £2 million and changed thousands of lives, but the job is nowhere near done. To reach more people affected by cancer, we need to be smarter and stronger as an organisation. Ryan, Simon, Kim and Michelle all bring fresh expertise that will help us do exactly that and I’m genuinely excited about what we’re going to achieve together.” - Mark Solan , CEO & Founder

👣 This Friday, the team at Bespoke Financial Wellbeing are taking on an incredible 26-mile walk along the Northumberland Coast in support of Team Solan!

They're walking in honour of our amazing Warrior and their ambassador, Vik:

Vik was first diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and underwent major surgery, only to later be told that his cancer had returned. Following further operations, doctors discovered it wasn't cancer that had spread, but a rare condition called an SDHB GIST tumour, caused by a faulty gene inherited from his late father.

This condition affects just 1 in 1.5 million people, and Vik was one of the first males in the UK to be diagnosed with it. Sadly, his cancer returned in 2020 and has since progressed, leaving him with multiple tumours in his liver. Due to the rarity of the condition, there is currently no treatment and his life expectancy remains unknown.

Despite everything he faces, Vik continues to inspire us with his courage, positivity and determination.

We've been proud to support Vik and his family for several years, and we're incredibly grateful to Bespoke Financial Wellbeing for taking on this challenge to help us continue supporting local families affected by cancer.
