Story

Every year 4693 young people (aged 15-29) are diagnosed with cancer.

What’s the 4693 Reasons to Move Challenge?

A fun and meaningful way to boost your wellbeing while supporting young people living with and beyond cancer. Steps can be completed individually, as a team or a business, join us for the whole of April or for just one day.

Our mission is that every young adult diagnosed with cancer and their families and carers have the tools and support they need to live well and to feel empowered.

‘Being diagnosed with cancer as a young person feels like being out of sync with your generation. It is a misunderstood and isolating experience. It feels like being in another world - one that most people perhaps do not see.’

How to Get Involved:

✅ Donate

Dedicate one walk and one donation to a young adult with cancer:

• Press Donate: £4.69 helps fund a rehabilitation session.

✅ Start Fundraising

Press 'Start Fundraising', set your target, walk 4,693 steps a day, receive your Team Ella T Shirt in April and pledge to raise:

• £46.90 (Individual fundraising target) help fund a family to have a respite break

• £469 (Team fundraising target) help fund a course of specialist clinical psychology and mental health support.

✅ Share: Post your journey using #TeamElla to inspire others.

Help us make a difference to 1000 young people facing cancer in 2025. Your steps, generosity and donations in this challenge will help change lives.
