Knowle teenagers gearing up for Molly Olly’s Wishes challenge

May 25, 2021 | News

Carrick Hayre and Nicole Baker will be pedalling 50miles to the Molly Olly’s Wishes headquarters in Warwick in aid of the Charity. The pair are hoping to raise £1,000 for wishes and therapeutic toys and books for children with life-threatening illnesse and their families across the UK.

Carrick, age 14 and attends Arden School, said: “I decided I wanted to do something for the Charity when I started doing my Duke of Edinburgh Award last year. I like the Charity because it helps children emotionally rather than physically, which I’m not sure that many other charities do so much.”

Nicole, 13, a pupil at Solihull School, added: “I wanted a new challenge and decided to help the Charity, especially after their struggle over the past year. I also love the fact that they help grant children’s wishes.”

Every donation, whatever size, helps a seriously unwell child

HELP MAKE WISHES COME TRUE

Current data suggests that 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every day, and that 1,900 children under the age of 14 in the UK are diagnosed each year.

More children are diagnosed with a range of other, often rare, conditions and illnesses that are also life-threatening.

Molly Ollys is committed to helping as many of these children and their families as possible, and works hard to raise the necessary funds to be able to help those who contact us.

You can help us do this by making a donation, joining in with our fundraising events, running your own events, using Give as You Live when you are shopping, and by leaving a legacy in your will. Please visit our How you can help page to find out more.
