I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon this year, and will be raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

As some of you will know, after his transplant Finn developed a serious complication - lymphoma - and needed to be treated for several months with chemotherapy. Throughout his time in hospital, Teenage Cancer Trust was there with help and support for us all.

Today, and every day, seven young people in the UK aged 13-24 will hear the words “you have cancer”.

What happens next can affect them for the rest of their lives. You only get one chance at being young, and those years will shape the person you become – your relationships and career, your confidence and wellbeing, and your ability to pursue your dreams.

Teenage Cancer Trust’s specially trained nurses and youth workers support young people with cancer every step of the way – from the moment they’re diagnosed, through to helping them rebuild their lives after treatment.

They’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.
