Teenage Cancer Trust exists to improve the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer by establishing specialist units in NHS hospitals.

At a time when your body is changing, your social life is everything and you’re still trying to figure out who you are, getting cancer can seem like an impossible blow to take. But thanks to Teenage Cancer Trust, thousands of young people are taking it, and coming out fighting.

We understand that teenage cancer requires specialist care, and how damaging it is to take a young person away from their normal life and put them in a cancer ward with small children or older people. That is why everyday we are working towards building enough specialist Teenage Cancer Trust units so that, by 2013 every single teenager will be treated on one. And this is where you come in!

Join our team in the Virgin London Marathon – the world's biggest and best marathon and you’ll be running for our teenagers – our future.

We’ll be with you every step of the way; whether it’s fundraising support, training and health tips or that all important TCT running vest (believe us you wont be missed!) when it comes to support we’ll be sure to make it an unforgettable marathon experience for every single one of you!
