Six young people a day are diagnosed with cancer in the UK - that's around 2,400 each year.

Each diagnosis is shocking, overwhelming, isolating… and completely unfair. Especially when you’re young. It takes over your life.

Treatment is gruelling and your ambitions and dreams suddenly seem very far away.

That’s why Young Lives vs Cancer fights tirelessly to stop cancer destroying young lives. They provide grants and free accommodation close to hospital to help with spiralling costs. Their care teams are on hand to help families with everything from getting benefits to treatment closer to home.
