The Fund recently appointed Andrew Mcilwaine as a Community Champion, to represent the charity in their local community.
As a Community Champion, MR McILwaine will work to raise vital funds and awareness in the wider Antrim area connecting and engaging with the community to support the charity’s mission: to ensure no child has to face cancer alone.
Andrew said: “I am delighted to take on the role of Community Champion so that Cancer Fund for Children can provide vital support to families when they need them most.
" have been involved with the charity since 2017, regularly doing challenging cycles and various other fundraising events. It’s great to take on a more formal role now so I can better connect with my local community and make a greater impact for children impacted by cancer.”
