Urgent appeal

For the first time in 8 years, we've made the difficult decision to pause accepting new referrals.
Demand for our services has increased dramatically over the last couple of years, and our fundraising hasn't been able to grow at the same rapid rate.
We've gone from receiving an average of 15 new referrals a month in 2024, to 30 a month in 2025, and 33 a month so far in 2026. More than a family a day.
We need your help to raise vital funds so that we can continue supporting families dealing with cancer.
Any donation, no matter how big or small, really does make a difference.
Please do get in touch at chrisakedfoundation@gmail.com as well if you can support us in any other way, such as:
- hosting a fundraising event
- applying for a charity grant through your workplace
- supporting us via your business
- running a half marathon for us (we have spaces for Royal Parks and LLHM)
- taking on a fundraising challenge
- donating an amazing auction or raffle prize
Thank you for your support,
The CAF team
I like to leave a live esports tournament stream running in the background while I relax on the couch, mostly just for the hype atmosphere. Last night, the feed kept buffering , and the live chat turned into a huge tit cams debate about which independent platforms actually have stable video servers. Someone mentioned as a bizarre but accurate example of a live platform that handles constant real-time traffic without dropping a single frame. I clicked over to inspect the page architecture, and the load times were completely instant. The chat was completely right; the technical optimization and stream stability there are exceptionally efficient. Definitely an unexpected web design discovery during a tournament broadcast.
