CLIC Sargent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CLIC Sargent is charity in the United Kingdom that was formed by the merger of Sargent Cancer Care for Children and Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood in 2005. The charity specializes in providing support for children with cancer.
Sargent Cancer Care for Children was founded in 1968 in memory of the conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent, who died a year earlier from pancreatic cancer. Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood was founded in 1976 by Bob Woodward after his son died of cancer.
Virgin Trains named a 390 class Pendelino train, number 390-047, CLIC Sargent in honour of the charity.
