Patch On, Pirate Up for Talk Like a Pirate Day

I’m participating in Talk Like a Pirate Day on Saturday, 19th September. Childhood Cancer Support is asking us to Patch on, Pirate Up for Talk Like a Pirate Day and help raise funds for regional families who need to relocate for paediatric oncology treatment.

Childhood Cancer Support provides families with free short-term and long-term accommodation, fully equipped with everything they need, as well as food, transport and counselling services. We take away the added stress and burden so that families can focus on their child.

All funds raised will go towards building a new accommodation village close to the hospital to help support more families.  Please donate now to help me reach my fundraising goal (Or take it one step further and Patch On, Pirate Up with me!)

Honouring Tessa

Wednesday 10th Jun

This year, we will be celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day while raising funds for Childhood Cancer Services, in honour of beautiful Tessa. 

For Tessa and her family, Childhood Cancer Services provided far more than medical support. 

For two years, they offered a home away from home, practical assistance, and a community of care during the most challenging of times. 

They became a lifeline, walking alongside the family every step of the way.


We know that many other families facing childhood cancer rely on this incredible service, and we would love to give back to an organisation that gives so much to others.


By participating in our Talk Like a Pirate Day fundraiser, you'll be helping Childhood Cancer Services continue supporting children and families when they need it most.

Together, we can honour Tessa's legacy with kindness, generosity, and community spirit. 💗


Every donation, no matter how small, helps make a difference. ⚓️🏴‍☠️💗
