Story
Every day, seven young people ages 13-24 hear the words you have cancer, They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need so no young person faces cancer alone.
This September, run, walk or jog 28 miles for young people with cancer. Each of those miles, represents one of our 28 dedicated units in hospitals around the country, where our nurses and youth workers provide the specialist care and support young people with cancer need.

Every £25,000 raised could help run and maintain one of our specialist Teenage Cancer Trust units for a whole year, making sure the whole place looks and feels as fresh as the day it opened.
Every £50,000 raised could employ a highly trained Lead Nurse to head up the specialist care of every young person on one of our units for a year. Our nurses don't just provide amazing medical care they're trained to support young people with the social and emotional impact of cancer too.
Every £100,000 raised could go towards high-speed Wi-Fi for young people to access for free whilst having their treatment on our units. At a time when staying connected is more important than ever, this means they can stay in touch with friends and family, keep up with their studies and stream their favourite shows.
