Today, 12 more children and young people in the UK will hear the life changing news that they have cancer. This September alone, 360 young people and their families will receive this news. Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and we are asking you to join us and take on a Keepy Uppy vs Cancer 360 Challenge, in support of the 360 children and young people who will be diagnosed this month.
