The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was established by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE to raise funds for children's and cancer charities.
Help us reach our £5 million target
The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was set up by a very determined Yorkshirewoman to help children's and cancer charities across Yorkshire, the UK and the globe.
Before her death in 2007 Jane Tomlinson CBE raised £1.85m through a series of incredible physical challenges.
Mike Tomlinson and his three children, Suzanne, Rebecca and Steven, now have set their sights on a £5 million target. With the generous help of Jane Tomlinson Appeal supporters, the £3 million raised to date is already being put to good use by those in need.
Please help the Jane Tomlinson Appeal to keep helping families in need.
