On 18 May, we will be walking 58km along the Jurassic Coast to raise money for Young Lives Vs Cancer, a charity that does the most incredible, valuable work for young people who have been affected by cancer and their families.

Cancer is shocking, overwhelming and isolating. It takes over your life. Treatment is gruelling and your ambitions and dreams suddenly seem very far away. Especially when you’re young.

That’s why Young Lives vs Cancer fights tirelessly to stop cancer destroying young lives. They provide grants and free accommodation close to hospital to help with spiralling costs. Their care teams are on hand to help families with everything from getting benefits to treatment closer to home. And they lobby the government to make sure they get the support they’re entitled to. They're here to make sure young cancer patients can focus on getting their lives back on track.

The charity provides day-to-day support and advice, financial assistance, home-from-home help, emotional and educational support and, in the most nightmarish of circumstances, bereavement support, as well as campaigning for the rights of families and young people.

It’s a huge job - and every penny raised will go towards making sure they can continue to do it.

Thank you in advance for your support 🤍
