We're nothing without the help of our amazing fundraisers (you!) This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month we're out and about all over the country collecting in local supermarkets to support children and young people with cancer. If there isn't a store near you, or you would prefer to collect donations virtually then this is the fundraiser for you.

Parents and children have difficult conversations all the time, from where babies come from to why theyre not allowed to do certain things.

When your child has cancer, conversations go from being difficult to unbearable: How do you tell your child they have cancer? What do you say when they ask why theyre in hospital all the time, or why they cant play with their friends? And how do you tell a child with cancer, or their siblings, they wont get better?

Our Childhood Cancer Awareness Month campaign highlights the tough conversations children and young people with cancer have every day, and how Young Lives vs Cancer social workers help. They listen to their worries, anxieties and fears. They help them understand whats being said about their cancer and whats planned. They support them to find the words to express how they feel. They make sure the people closest to them can be by their side and help them find the strength and resilience to face the trauma of cancer.

So this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, if you can't join us in store to collect we're asking you to set up a virtual collection instead. We all love bucket collections because theyre so simple to take part in. The good news is virtual fundraising is just as easy!

By setting up a JustGiving page, you can ask your family and friends to support you, by raising money online for Young Lives vs Cancer.
