Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
We are walking the Great Glen Way to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.
The Great Glen Way is a 73 mile trek, starting from Fort William and ending in Inverness. We will start the walk on Sunday 18th June and plan to finish the walk by Friday 23rd June 2006.
We have decided to to walk the Great Glen Way to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. As a group of university students, we identify with other young people and we feel that teenagers are an age group who are not often thought of by people when they think of cancer sufferers.
We are paying for our own flights and accommodation. So every penny we raise will go to Teenage Cancer Trust.
Teenage Cancer Trust focuses on the needs of teenagers and young people with cancer, leukaemia, Hodgkin's and related diseases by providing specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals. The concentration of medical expertise within the units brings advances in knowledge. It is anticipated that treatment in a Teenage Cancer Trust Unit improves chances of recovery. The charity's work pushes the parameters of knowledge in the field of adolescent cancer. They strive not only to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients but also their chances of survival.
Additional to its work in NHS hospitals, Teenage Cancer Trust provides an education and awareness team across the UK, a programme which gives information, education and advice which can be included in the curriculum.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: 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 please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support,
