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.

Hi!

We are delighted to be running the Edinburgh Marathon for the Teenage Cancer Trust Remember Zoe fund.

Zoe King was an inspiration to all who met her - staff, fellow patients, relatives and friends. She had been fighting cancer for three years and sadly lost her battle last september just 5 days from her 18th birthday. In commemoration of her an appeal has been launched to raise funds to provide age appropriate facilities for teenagers fighting cancer.

All funds raised through Remember Zoe fund go towards building a specialist Teenage Cancer Trust Unit at the Western General Hospital or the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. Zoe was also passionate to help teenagers who had lost their hair due to chemotherapy, as she had. A percentage of TCT Remember Zoe funds go towards the better wigs campaign.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to helping teenagers fight cancer. Zoe had been fighting cancer for three years and had been treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. The staff are fantastic but the facilities aren't appropriate for teenagers.

Cancer is the most common cause of death at this age. Incidence rates are now higher in teenagers and young adults than in children, yet survival rates fall behind those of children and older adults. Teenage Cancer Trust exists to ensure that teenagers and young adults are diagnosed efficiently, treated effectively, and have the support they need to make it through their treatment and rebuild their lives after cancer.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Teenage Cancer Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support. If you are free on 25 May do come along and cheer us on!
