Leo's Charity Walk raises over £1500 for Macmillan Cancer Support

Monday, 9 November 2026 at 17:57

Well done to 14 year old Leo Fox who organised a local walk to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The walk took place yesterday, where Leo was joined by friends, family and neighbours. Leo decided to organise and partake in the walk to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

He said that he chose that particular charity as it's very close to his heart and cancer is something that has personally affected his family. Leo has sadly lost two grandparents to the disease and knows how difficult it is for families going through it.

He wanted to do something positive in their memory and help other people who are facing the same thing.

Leo has surpassed his £1,000 target and has currently raised £1530:00.

You can still donate on his Just Giving Page.
