I'm taking a 24-hour timeout from social media to help children and young people face everything cancer throws at them.

Every day, 12 more children and young people are told they have cancer. The first 24 hours are frightening, especially when theyre only just starting out in life. Forced into an alien hospital environment. Terrified of what lies ahead, imagining the worst.

I'm unplugging for a day to help Young Lives vs Cancer social workers be there for them, to provide vital emotional support and practical help.
