Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
WHO?
As a student officer for New College Lanarkshire Students’ Association, I am
representing our student body who nominated Teenage Cancer Trust as their chosen
charity of 2015.
HOW?
Please help me to achieve my target of £125 and sponsor me as I experience the
ultimate adrenalin rush as I abseil from the roof of Yorkhill Hospital for Sick
Children in Glasgow.
WHY?
Teenage Cancer Trust are a deserving charity who create
world-class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing
care and support to young people so they don’t have to face cancer alone.
Did you know?
· 7 young people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer every day, and too many of them fail to recognise cancer symptoms early.
· The 5 signs of cancer are pain, a lump or bump, extreme weight loss, extreme tiredness and changes in a mole.
· From every £1 that you donate, 79p will be spent on helping young people fight cancer. The remaining 21p is used to raise further funds.
WHERE?
Yorkhill is an iconic 100 year old building, currently home to a Teenage Cancer
Trust Unit which ensures the best possible quality of care is provided so that young
people are treated as a young person first and cancer patient second.
