Story

Thanks for all of your support - this April I’ll be running a full marathon to try and raise more money for the Teenage Cancer Trust - please see my new page at:

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jacob-allen3

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 13th of February 2020, when I was just 15 years old, I was diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; soon after my diagnosis I was moved to the Teenage Cancer Trust ward at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff. The staff were kind and caring, the rooms were more homely than an average ward and there were many activities to take my mind off my treatment. Having chemotherapy is a very stressful time but this ward helped me to get through it. I finished chemotherapy in August 2020 and was given the all clear. 

My parents, family and friends have been and are continuing to be a great support through my journey with cancer. However, not everyone is as fortunate which makes it even more important that young people battling cancer are given the support they need. This is not possible without donations.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
