George and the Giant Pledge
A Redhill family have started a fundraising campaign for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity called George and The Giant Pledge to help beat children’s cancers.

Before their little boy George was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET), Vicki and James Woodall launched the campaign after seeing the wonderful work The Royal Marsden does.

Following the devastating diagnosis, Vicki and James vowed to carry on with the fundraising – despite not benefiting from the funds raised themselves.
