A KIND-hearted pupil has given his support to a cancer charity which helped his little sister.

Eight-year-old Aidan Foster decided to organise and host a cake sale at Chiltern Primary School, where he is a pupil.

The money raised from the event was donated to CLIC Sargent.

Aidan decided to collect money for the CLIC Sargent, a UK charity which helps children and young people with cancer, after his sister Rae was diagnosed with leukaemia.

He said: “My sister Rae, has been in and out of hospital since she was five-months-old.

“She was diagnosed with leukaemia and has been having lots of treatment for this. Because of this treatment, she now weighs very little and has frequently been in and out of hospital for complications.

“Despite all that she has been through, my sister is a very happy little girl and she enjoys laughing with me and my brother Noah, especially at the 'washing my hair' song where she pretends to wash her hair.

“I want to raise money for CLIC Sargent so that children like my little sister Rae can get better and have better lives without cancer.”

From the cake sale, the eight-year-old managed to raise £320 to be donated to the charity.

Headteacher at Chiltern Primary School, Phil Clarke, added: “It was really kind of Aidan to think of raising funds for CLIC Sargent.

“I am really proud of Aidan for helping to organise a cake sale at school that raised over £320 for such a worthwhile cause.”

CLIC Sargent works closely with doctors, nurses and other NHS professionals as an integral part of the team caring for children with cancer.

Liz Blunt, fundraising engagement manager for Hampshire at CLIC Sargent, said: “We really appreciate Aidan raising money so that we can provide vital help that’s needed for young cancer patients and their families.”
