As part of Childhood Cancer Awareness month (September), Diane from The Maria Watt Foundation, and Natalya from BT Buddies, have decided to join forces to stage a brand new event – Candles of Courage.

The aim of Candles of Courage is to recognise the 4,000 children and young people who will receive the devastating news that a diagnosis of Cancer brings.

The event also aims to recognise the courage of those children and young people whilst remembering the many young lives already lost to this disease.

4,000 candles will be displayed in the shape of the worldwide symbol for Childhood Cancer, the Gold Ribbon. The candles will be lit and will form a Gold Ribbon Illumination.

Anyone affected by Childhood Cancer can also join us and help create a circle of friendship around the Candles of Courage Illumination, CLICK HERE for more info.

Don't forget to sponsor a candle here and we really hope to see as many of you on the 18th September as possible!

Together in Hope,
