Every day, 10 children and young people in the UK hear the shocking news they have cancer - Quote from CLIC Sargent Charity, for children who have cancer.
Life changes over night. Treatment starts immediately. Families are swept away on a tide of medication. You can imagine the stress, so hard to bear. CLIC Sargent is the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families.They give strength and offer comfort. They are working to establish specialist nurses who will help children and young people spend less time in hospital and more time at home.
Last Saturday, the annual CLIC Sargent Ball was held in Newquay, Cornwall, (where I went to school, oh yeah!) - a strictly black-tie event with 140 glamorous guests. A huge array of fabulous Cornish goodies had been donated for the auction .... including .... my painting ....
