Elena’s story
In 2022, I lost my mum to cancer. That loss changed me forever. The pain of losing someone you love is unimaginable, and no child should have to face it alone. That’s why I’m walking barefoot across burning coals—to honour my mother’s memory and to support Cabaret Vs Cancer, a charity that helps children who are grieving the loss of a loved one to cancer.
This cause is deeply personal to me. I know what it means to feel that heartbreak, and I want to make sure no child has to navigate that pain without support.
Cabaret Vs Cancer also funds vital cancer research and more. You can learn about their incredible work here: https://www.cabaretvscancer.co.uk/
The Charity founder, Rose Thorne, is one of the most hard-working, compassionate, and fiercely dedicated women I know. She created something beautiful that brought lots of wonderful people together and it’s our turn to help them all and make a difference!
If you can, please sponsor my firewalk. Every donation—big or small—makes a real difference. And because we’re using Wonderful, Cabaret Vs Cancer receives 100% of your donation. If you’re a UK taxpayer and complete the Gift Aid information, the charity can claim an extra 25% at no cost to you.
Thank you for helping me turn grief into action. Let’s honour those we’ve lost and stand with those still fighting.
