OMF London to Brighton 2022 Ride WHY TCT? Young people shouldn’t have to face cancer alone. Every day seven young people aged 13-24 find out that they have cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust provide care and support for teenagers and young people with cancer across the UK at a time when they need it the most. With 28 specialist units at NHS hospitals and a broad range of fantastic outreach and educational programmes, they need our help. WHAT IS OMF? The Oli Mills Foundation is a collection of friends, family, supporters and businesses who come together to raise money exclusively for Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of Oliver Mills who died of a brain tumour when he was just 18 years old in 2005.
