ith many worthy charities working tirelessly to raise necessary funds for their end means, the one which affects every single one of us as human beings, man, woman, or child is cancer. One in three people will get cancer and it’s the toughest thing many people will ever face. One charity that goes above and beyond, for cancer sufferer, plus
family and friends is the Reflecting Hope Fundraising Committee, who supports cancer sufferers in the community. Linked with the Macmillan Cancer Support, they do fundraising and go about encouraging people to fundraise for them. In operation for two years now, the Birmingham-based organisation is run by seven committe members, all with direct, or indirect, links with suffering cancer

Councillor Imogen Walker, Cabinet Member for Environment and Sustainability, said: “We were delighted to support the children in this initiative.
