“Isla was not defined by cancer, she was a normal happy little girl who lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed every single moment of it and had the most infectious smile.”

Her friends have setup a fund to raise money and all of the money will be going to Isla’s fund to help find a cure for neuroblastoma.

Hi, I am Isla Caton’s dad and I am driving a 58-plate yellow Saab from Hornchurch in Essex to Africa on the 22nd of December.




I will be going to France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, then back into France and onto the SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital where  Isla spent 2 and half years receiving treatment.
I will then drive to Sitges, the place where we lived and loved whilst in Spain, and then down to Alicante to visit lots of people that helped us to fundraise. The next stop is the Sierra Nevada mountain range and then to Marbella, across the ferry to Africa and on to Marrakesh.  I’ll then turn around and drive back through Portugal, Spain then into France on my way back to Essex

This is approx. 4500 miles in total and I hope to be back in the UK by the 6th of Jan 2023. Wish me luck everyone and keep the sponsorship coming. This cancer is extremely deadly and needs money to fund trials that will hopefully one day find a cure to this nightmare of a disease. Thank you for all your support.
