Christian Blandford has been through cancer twice. He had a clear cell sarcoma of the kidney in 2004 and it relapsed in late 2006 in a bone in his leg. He is currently in remission and is doing well.

The aim of the Christian Blandford fund is to raise money for hospitals where sick children are treated. Often treatment is given under a "joint care" program where a specialist hospital such as Great Ormond Street or The Royal Marsden provides the main treatment and the local hospital is used if, for example, a child gets an infection. The specialist hospitals are usually far more comfortable and well equipped than the local NHS hospitals where much of the care is given mainly due to extra funds from government and charity. This is why we have chosen to raise money for local hospitals that we discovered during Christian's treatment needed it more. So far, all the money raised has been donated to St George's Hospital in Tooting which was our local hospital during Christian's treatment.
