I AM writing to encourage readers to take on a challenge to support children with cancer.

Each and every day in the UK five children are diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia, CLIC works to support these children and their families and is entirely funded by voluntary donations.

In 2005, CLIC is setting a high altitude Peru challenge, trekking or cycling through the Andes.

Choose to either cycle from Cuzco to Lake Titicaca or trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and support those children who are currently undergoing the challenge of their treatment for cancer.

Please think of the 155 children who have been diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia this month.

You can find out more about CLIC's Peru challenge by visiting www.clic.org.uk or pick up the phone today and call 0845 124 1188
