The Charity is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. CLIC Sargent was formed in 2005 after a successful merger between CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for Children. If you can help in any way, please do so. Best wishes, Fraser.

Fraser Mackay: Strasbourg
http://frasermackay.blogspot.com/2013/09/strasbourg.html
