Please Share to support children like Claudia not face cancer alone
Claudia was only 4 years old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2014. After brutal and rigorous rounds of chemo and treatment, Claudia’s mum, Anna, and her community nurse applied for Tom’s Gift.
Tom’s Gift is a special present made up of a mystery gift and a £30 Debenhams gift voucher for a child with cancer to spend in-store or online, on anything they would like.
Created by the Tom Grahame Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support it is a small way to celebrate the amazing courage and resilience of children with cancer and to bring them a moment of joy.
Anna says ‘I approached Tom’s Gift because you really want to look for any way to make your child’s life brighter. I gave her the Tom’s Gift card and told her you can go through all the things on this website and you can have whatever you want, whatever you like.’ Claudia chose a sparkly dress and absolutely loved it.
To find out more information about Tom’s Gift, and the joy it can bring to children living with cancer, visit macmillan.org.uk/tomsgift

Share to support UK to beat cancer sooner
“I was diagnosed with cancer of the p***s in August 2014. I never even knew this type of cancer existed, so I’m keen to help raise awareness. I’m so grateful for the treatment I received, and I count my blessings as someone who has survived cancer, but there are too many lives cut short by this devastating disease. That’s why we’re hosting a coffee morning to raise money for CRUK.” Dad of two, Neil, and his mates are getting together to raise money to help beat cancer sooner. Sign up to host a Cancer Research UK Coffee Morning this April and we’ll send you out a free fundraising pack to get you started: http://po.st/j1sllT
