For 8 months, from January 2014 to the end of August 2014 Matthew "The Champ" was treated for Primary Bone Cancer within the Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow.

Having now completed his treatment, Matthew is now in the process of recovering and learning to walk again, gaining strength and confidence little by little every day.

Together with friends and family we aim to continue raising funds for this charity which helped Matthew and ourselves through the dark days of 2014.

The support and facilities that The Teenage Cancer Trust provide at Yorkhill and other units across the country are invaluable to the young people and their families

They have funded, built and now maintain 28 units across the UK. They plan to build a further 3 and replace 3 existing ones so that all young people needing hospital treatment for cancer across the UK have access to the dedicated, specialist support they provide, no matter where they live.

They don’t believe that teenagers should have to stop being teenagers just because they have cancer. So they bring young people together so they can be treated together, by teenage cancer experts, in an environment suited to their needs.

These units really do make a difference!
