Introduction: Prepare to be inspired by the remarkable story of a Brentford resident who is embarking on an extraordinary journey to make a difference in the lives of families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. Join us in shining a spotlight on Kitty Cockram’s heartfelt mission as she takes on the London Marathon to support a charity providing vital accommodation for families during their time of need.
Meet Kitty Cockram: Meet Kitty Cockram, a beloved member of our Brentford community, and a dedicated coach for the Brentford Penguins alongside her father Allan. Moved by her recent visit to Paul’s House, a haven for families with children undergoing cancer treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Kitty has resolved to take action and raise funds for this invaluable cause.
Supporting Families in Crisis: Paul’s House, operated by Young Lives vs Cancer, offers much-needed accommodation in central London, providing a comforting refuge for families during their child’s medical journey. With many families already burdened by financial strain, the charity’s provision of free lodging ensures they can focus on supporting their child without added worries about accommodation costs.
Making an Impact: Driven by her passion for helping others, Kitty aims to raise £2000 through her marathon endeavor. With each £39 donation, Kitty can provide a family with accommodation for a night, alleviating their financial burden and offering them a respite during an incredibly challenging time.
Join the Cause: As Kitty trains diligently for her first marathon, she invites our community to join her in making a meaningful difference. Whether through sponsorship, donations, or simply spreading the word, every contribution brings us one step closer to supporting families in need.
