At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you. Visit www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk

Story

I walked up Ben Nevis in 2007 with my son Nick, then aged 15. We always promised ourselves that when I was 65 and Nick was 30 we would walk up it again. Sadly we lost Nick to cancer in January 2020 at the age of 28. 

Myself and Michelle would like to do the walk this year in his memory and at the same time raise as much money as we can for the charity that helped and supported the family while Nick was undergoing his cancer treatment between 2012 and 2020.

The charity not only supports young people on Merseyside who have been diagnosed with cancer but also give practical and emotional support to their families during difficult times.

Young People v Cancer (formerly Clic Sargent) doesn't receive government funding and relies on donations. While I understand how difficult things may be financially for people at the minute, every donation made, however small, would be invaluable for the charity and the children and young people it helps.

With thanks, Phil
