Staff from Morrisons Stores across the area are going to be descending on Whitby and Scarborough next month as part of a sponsored walk for their store charity.
They're raising funds for Young Lives vs Cancer and are going to be walking the cinder track from Whitby to Scarborough
Ellie Waite is community champion from the Eastfield Store
Ellie says the sponsored walk by supermarket staff in Scarborough has snowballed and will now see staff from stores across Yorkshire take part.
Young Lives vs Cancer care teams work with young people and families to help them get essential financial support.
They arrange grants and help them get the benefits and other support they’re entitled to. They also help liaise with young people’s employers and sort out housing issues to keep families together. Research shows parents spend an average of £600 more every month when their child has cancer. Lots of travel for treatment, hotels, extra heating costs at home. It soon adds up, causing further anxiety and worry.
The Charity says :
"Treatment is exhausting and often happens for months at a time, far away from home. Travelling for treatment not only adds to the exhaustion; it’s expensive too. Our nursing teams can provide personal care and support at home, or arrange for treatment to be given closer to home."
They also have Young Lives vs Cancer Homes from Home close to hospitals, where families can stay during treatment for free. These reduce the financial cost and emotional impact of cancer, keeping families together when it matters most.
Morrison's is currently helping raise funds for a new Home to Home called Jacks House. The team will be doing the walk on July 14th joined by colleagues from stores across the region. They have launched a JustGiving page here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/scarboroughmorrisonswalk
