After COVID, a proper Christmas

Tanyel’s smile had the chance to visit the oncology children’s ward in Northern Cyprus .

We met with newly diagnosed children and their families including our children that we have had the chance to know over the years . We were proud to be able to give them support and special vouchers for the festive season.

A big thank you to Kemal Saraçoğlu charity for organising this and making sure we are aware of all their treatments. We are honoured to be able to work together to bring smiles to these children who are affected by childhood cancer .

We wish all our special children and family’s all the best and a very Happy New Year.

2021 Marathons

Cey in Istanbul

Ceyhun took part in the London Marathon on 3rd October 2021, and then headed to another beautiful city, Istanbul running the Marathon on 7th November 2021 . He managed to raise a massive  £2,418 from donations.

Great work Cey, and thank you to everyone who supported him. It’s fantastic that together we can give hope to children suffering from Cancer.

Kibris Charity Ball

The Kibris Charity Ball

A massive thank you to Kibris World Wide for the amazing charity ball last night, which helped to raise  £3,200. The proceeds will be split between two charities one which is Tanyel’s Smile.

Also, a massive thank you to Tcca Haringey Bayram Cubuk and Erim Metto, Ibrahim Üç Firtina ,Djcelil Huseyin Erdinc and Tanyel Hassan for making this such a special night .

We’d also like to thank everyone who couldn’t make it but donated some great raffle prizes or donated to our beautiful girl’s charity. 

Without all the support, we wouldn’t be able to continue to do what we do best, helping children with cancer and their families, and remembering our sweet Tanyel.

A Very Proud Moment

A Born Survivor

The Survivors

In 2020 Ceyhun was picked to take part in Survivor Turkey .

He proved that there is no age does not have to limit fitness, and performed amazingly well. Even though he didn’t come first, he was a winner in our eyes. His performance was outstanding and he remained calm and measured throughout. He was very much loved in the Dominican Republic .

In taking part he showed the Turkish community that even as a grieving father he still continues to keep positive, and share the message of his precious daughter Tanyel. 

We are all so proud of him . 

We thank Acun ilaci and Acun media team for believing in him .

COVID Doesn’t Stop Christmas

Cey in hospital with child suffering from cancer

Due to the Covid pandemic we were unable to visit our children and their families in the Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus for Christmas and new year . With the help of Kemal Saracoglu we were able to keep some smiles by arranging vouchers for 65 children to purchase gifts.

Sydney Marathon

Sydney marathon

This year Tanyel’s smile stretched all the way to Sydney Australia, Blackmores Sydney Marathon to help children with cancer.

It was absolutely awesome experience running through Sydney, starting at the famous Harbour Bridge and finishing at Sydney Opera House. A massive thanks to our family in Oz, Seval Aysel and Deniz, and to you all for your support and generous donations together we have reached just under £1,000.

Remembering Tanyel

Remembering Tanyel

Today is the day! My first organised event for a very special girl, my beautiful cousin .. my little sister.. my best friend.

We have raised over £1,000 for a special charity, which will give more smiles to children and their families with cancer in Northern Cyprus. I loved every minute and the effort that I’ve spent for planning, arranging, designing, and preparing for this organisation.

I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone at @helvaderelondon for supporting us and making this event extra special, and a big thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate with us.

What an amazing and rewarding job @gulayuzunx and @ceyhunjay are doing in memory of Tanyel, supporting other children and their families going through trauma of cancer. A massive thanks to Helvadere and their staff for organising this event they were absolutely brilliant food was so tasty also massive thanks to the Julie Lodge @ Pavilion for proving lovely flowers for our prize.
