Teenager sets up charity walk for Macmillan Cancer Support

East Sussex teenager Leo Fox has set-up a charity walk in memory of his Grandparents who he lost to Cancer.

The 10k walk will be taking place on Sunday 8th November and Leo has already been busy in gaining sponsorship, alongside recruiting friends, family and neighbours to take part in the walk. 

He said that he made the decision to organise the walk to enable to give something back to Macmillan Cancer Support and help to raise awareness of the work that the charity does. 

Cancer has personally affected Leo's family. He sadly lost two grandparents to the disease and knows first hand how difficult it can be for families that are going through it. 

Leo went on to say that Macmillan gives so much support to people with cancer and their families and he's hoping to raise as much as he can for such an important cause.

Every donation, however small, would really mean a lot to him.
