A £50,000 fundraiser has been launched in West Norfolk to throw a financial lifetime to families struggling to meet transport costs for children being treated for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
This sum would be enough to get the new charity, Break in the Clouds, off the ground and to fund it for the first 12 to 18 months.
Richard Bowker, from Docking, came up with the idea after hearing of families who were struggling to meet crippling financial costs of transporting their sick children for treatment.

He said: âMany children have to travel over 40 miles each way to get the required treatment, with some travelling in excess of 150 miles. This can cost families anywhere from £500 to £600 a month in travel and accommodation fees, causing undue stress and strain.
