Raising money for

Teenage Cancer Trust

Charity Registration No. 1062559

Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.

My story

In order to raise money for TCT, we will be cycling from Cambridge to Rome on a tandem, which will through England, France, Switzerland (yes, that means the Alps) and finally Italy.

After being diagnosed with Cancer last Christmas at the age of 18, I had to spend two and a half months in hospital. I had the choice between the Children's and the Adult's ward - a hard choice - but I went ahead to stay in the Adult ward as I didn't want to see such young going through this traumatic experience. However, most of the people in the ward were significantly older than me, so I felt a little isolated: so I have decided to help raise to fund the Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Addenbrookes for ages 13-22.

-Sean McCann

Seeing my friend suffer from Cancer was obviously very hard for me, so when the idea arose to do raise money for a good cause of this nature, I couldn't say no. So now I've been roped into cycling half way across Europe - and I now have to give up the beer and crisps!

-Peter Banks
