When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.

My god daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2018. Thankfully she smashed it and she is now a wonderful, active, beautiful 12 year old, but that might have not been the case.

Being a mother, this is something you always worry about and so having a charity like this, to support families at such a devastating time in their lives is so important.

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.
