About

We are taking on Kilimanjaro in September 2015, to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust!! Around six young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They need expert treatment and support from the moment they hear the word "cancer". Teenage Cancer Trust are the only charity dedicated to making this happen. Without the work of Teenage Cancer Trust, young people with cancer can be treated alongside children or elderly patients, isolating them when they most need support that's specific to their age group. They might be treated by cancer specialist who have no experience of working with young people, and aren't aware of the very specific challenges that come with having cancer when you're young. They might never meet another person with cancer their own age, and can feel frightened and alone. Having treatment can mean they miss out on all the normal things you do when you're young - hanging out with friends, playing sports and having fun. Over the next five years Teenage Cancer Trust need to raise £80 million to provide the best cancer support and care for young people, whenever and wherever they need it. Please sponsor us - any donation, however small, will really help. Just donating £25 could pay for a teenager to see a specialist nurse!
