Story

Young cancer patients face a 60 mile round trip, on average, to get treatment. This isn't by choice. Many young cancer patients have to travel to specialist cancer centres to get the care they need, they can't just go to their local hospital.

This costs £180 a month when treatment is at its most intense. As treatment can go on for years, families are often plunged into debt.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're asking our supporters to take on Challenge60 and raise £180 for young lives against cancer.

You could run 60 miles throughout the month (two miles a day), complete a 60 mile bike ride, swim everyday or even hop, we don't mind!

Sign up to Challenge60 60 miles your way this September, and join the fight for young lives against cancer.
