Young Fundraiser of the Year 2024

Libby Atkins

Libby Atkins is a remarkable 10-year-old who began fundraising from her hospital bed at the age of 8, whilst going through gruelling treatment for Ewing sarcoma, which entailed 14 rounds of chemotherapy as well as surgery to remove her tumour. Libby and her family have set up a special fund in her name: Libby's Journey of Life which has raised over £60,000 in little over a year through a combination of raffles, community events and a fabulous black-tie dinner for Bone Cancer Research Trust.

Libby has featured in key awareness campaigns and has inspired thousands of people with her drive to raise funds to help other children in similar situations. Everyone at the Bone Cancer Research Trust is so grateful to Libby and her family for their incredible fundraising efforts. She is an absolute superstar who deserves recognition for her remarkable fundraising.
