Last weekend around 150 children took part in our Gold Geese Goslings event along Chalkwell seafront and raised a whopping £12,000!
Our superstar Goslings scooted, cycled or walked the course which started from Joscelyn’s Beach by Chalkwell Station. Each participant received a goody bag, Gold Geese t-shirt and medal, and train operator c2c sponsored the event.
Our CEO and founder Katie says:
“I absolutely loved seeing our gaggle of Goslings whizzing along the sea front and having a brilliant time, while raising so much money for local families facing childhood cancer.
“A special thank you to our Gold families who joined us on the day, our volunteers and to c2c for sponsoring the event, as well as our partners Brakes, PMS, Trophy Factory and Nisa. And to Kerry Green Photography for the fantastic photos!
“The donations raised by these superstar families mean we can be there for every local family fighting childhood cancer – thank you so much.”
Hannah*, mum to Louie, 1, who is currently living with cancer, adds:
“Gold Geese saved me over and over again this past year. So many times I felt alone, scared and broken but they were always there. No judgement, no pressure, no stress just understanding and love.
“Whether it was a friendly catch up when I needed it the most, planned events for kids and adults, respite breaks away or food vouchers they continually saved me. I honestly don’t know how I would have survived the past year without them. I will be forever grateful.”
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us on the day or supported the Goslings. There’s still time to donate to the Goslings JustGiving page if you’d like to!
