This March, on the lead up to what would have been George's 6th birthday, supporters Sharon Wright and Issy Brooks will be launching March to the Moon. Fundraising that honours George's love of space and a fundraising challenge like no other!
March to the Moon is a challenge for anyone, anywhere, at anytime to join in with. If you want to help drive forward research into childhood cancer, to find kinder and more effective treatments, then join Just George on this journey to the moon!
Just George supporters from around the world, will be collectively attempting to reach the miles it would take to reach the moon. All 238,855 miles will be clocked up by supporters running, walking, cycling or even swimming. Local primary schools are supporting, getting children out and about for such a great cause.
The event launches on Friday 14th March, with a planned mile walk for children and families on The Shade Primary School's (Soham) playground. Taking place from 6pm, in the hope the moon will make an appearance for those walking. Everyone and anyone is welcome.
Below are ways you can help Just George to clock up mileage and fundraise with March to the Moon:
1. Could you cover lots of miles to the moon? You could ask friends, family, colleagues, neighbours to sponsor you via the Just Giving page. Ask them to put your name in the comments box so you can track your fundraising.
2. Fancy doing a one-off walk? Pop a donation into the Just Giving page and tell people what you are doing. Talk to people on your journey about Just George and ask them if they can give a little. You could also encourage others to join in, by sharing what you've done.
3. Fancy organising your own charity miles? Choose a distance and a location (check the route is safe) and gather a group. Ask entrants to pay to enter. Maybe add in refreshments or a raffle at the end to boost fundraising then bank the funds into the Just Giving page once they have all been collected.
