Today, every two hours, another child or young person will hear the news that they have cancer.

Hi, I’m Victoria. My friend got diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma on her 9th birthday, which was very devastating news! Thankfully she is now cancer free with the help and support of her family and friends but also The Royal Marsden.

Using my love for swimming, I have decided to take on a challenge for the month of March. It should be the Swim 5K Challenge to support Young Lives vs Cancer. I will post my progress here weekly.

Your contribution will make a difference to children and young people with cancer. Whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for your support. With my effort and your donation, maybe we can make a difference for the next child who has to hear that awful news.

Love, Victoria
