Why take on a challenge for Wolo?

When you choose to fundraise for Wolo, every step you take helps local families affected by cancer. We currently support over 216 families across Sussex and provide help in three key areas:

• Community – creating connection, friendship and a strong support network

• Wellbeing – promoting positive mental and physical health through activities, therapies and specialist support

• Bespoke Support – practical and personalised help tailored to each family’s needs

Cancer impacts every part of family life. Many families face emotional strain, financial pressure and physical challenges during treatment and beyond. Funds raised through Charity Challenge events allow us to continue delivering practical help, wellbeing sessions, peer support, family events and specialist services that make everyday life more manageable.
