Claim a free pair of limited-edition shoelaces when you walk, run, cycle or skate to raise money for Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September! We need your help!
Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) is the only UK charity that supports those diagnosed with retinoblastoma (Rb), and we need your help! Whether you choose to walk, cycle, run or skate – every penny you raise will help anyone affected by retinoblastoma in the UK. So, lace up your trainers and take on the challenge of completing 50km, representing approximately 50 children a year who are diagnosed with this rare form of children’s eye cancer.
Plus, if you raise £200, you’ll also get a free CHECT T-shirt!
All profits go back to the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust so that we can continue out vital work in helping families affected by retinoblastoma.

What your hard work and funds do for those affected by retinoblastoma:
Fund a Pip the Penguin toy for a child who has had their eye removed. This will help them come to terms with their artificial eye.
Support travel expenses for a family to one of the only two hospitals in the UK that specialise in treating Rb. This will help them manage the additional financial burden associated with cancer.
Fund five valuable support sessions with a dedicated CHECT support worker to help lessen the impact of a retinoblastoma cancer diagnosis.
Fund an event to bring together those affected by retinoblastoma so that they feel supported and less isolated.
