Support our fundraisers

It is totally fine If you don't feel able to organise your own event, but you can also really help us by showing your support to those who are undertaking these personal challenges and sponsored events.

Often these fundraising events are set-up on platforms such as JustGiving or Facebook and we need you to not only consider sponsoring the fundraisers financially but also sharing their story and pages within your own social circle to spread the word.

A large percentage of our donations come via Facebook and JustGiving so please help us by sharing us ... Thank you!

What would your money fund?

We raise money to provide grants to support childhood cancer families. The implications of a cancer diagnosis in a child is enormous and far reaching. There is often a huge emotional and financial impact on the whole family. Your money will allow My Shining Star to come alongside these families at this traumatic time.
