Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer.

At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop them being teenagers. We also know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs.So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome.

And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance – which means we need to build another 14 units by 2012. It costs around £2 million to open a unit and we have to raise all this money ourselves. We don’t just build units. We provide expert staffing and support for patients and their family throughout their cancer journey and empower young people through education and advocacy.

This is where you come in…by running for TCT you can help make our goals a reality and ensure that every young person with cancer has the best possible care and support, wherever they live in the UK.
