Diagnosed with cancer in 2017, Charlie (wearing the red hat) decided to tackle the London Marathon in 2018, despite facing his own health battles. Since then, he’s run every marathon except one, raising over £10,000 for Children with Cancer UK along the way. “Here I am 8 years later in remission from cancer, and feeling blessed and honoured that I am able to write this Christmas message to you. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus with the message of peace, hope and love. This is my message and my biggest wish for all those especially children, facing cancer through this festive season.” - @charliedegale2021, cancer survivor. Christmas is a time for reflection and gratitude, as Charlie so beautifully reminds us. Let’s carry his message of peace, hope, and love into the new year and beyond. https://bit.ly/3ZfnLrz

“On Christmas Eve we deliver various presents to neighbours and friends and then we go church for the 4pm family service followed by dinner out. It’s the same every year.

Morven was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in the soft tissue of her left eyelid on 20 January 2020 when she was just 7 years old. Cara, Morven's mum shares their Christmas eve traditions.
