Story

In support of Teenage Cancer Trust, a group of students from Newcastle University and I will go on a 6-day Machu Picchu trek, in Summer 2024. I will also be running my very first half marathon at Edinburgh Marathon Festival on the 26th May. I’m doing these challenges to raise money for this amazing charity. 

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your kind contributions!

About Teenage Cancer Trust:

Every day, seven young people aged 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 are the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need so no young person faces cancer alone. Every £25 donation provides an hour to talk. A Youth Support Coordinator provides the extra help young people need with things like studies, relationships and mental wellbeing throughout cancer treatment. £25 could pay for an hour of their time, helping them be there when needed most.
