Fundraising Update

We were delighted to receive a cheque for £1,020 from the Caledonian Society of Sheffield.  Ian McMaster was the President for the last year and decided that Katie’s Trust would be one of two charities to benefit from the proceeds of the St. Andrew’s Dinner and the Burns Supper.  The total raised this year was the highest ever – many thanks to all the Scots & Yorkshire folks who delved deep into their pockets.

M.A.D (Mums Against DIPG) Lakes Challenge

1 Challenge – 20 Women – 71kms – 24hrs – All for Children’s DIPG Brain Cancer Research.

On the 19th of January three mums, who lost their little girls to DIPG brain tumours, officially launched this incredible challenge event taking place in the Lakes on 25th-26th May 2013.  Their compelling story of why they are completing the challenge can be seen on this video.

Their team of 20 ladies includes the three mums who started it all, and they will be hitting the Lakes for a crazy 24hrs with one HUGE message…. to create awareness for Children’s Brain Tumour Research – The M.A.D Mum’s Against DIPG are coming!!!
