helping teenagers fight cancer

About Me

Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) was established to meet the needs of a neglected group of patients in the UK - teenagers and young adults with cancer. We achieve this goal by building specialist units in NHS hospitals. Medical facilities in these units are second-to-none, and the positive environment they provide is actually leading to an improvement in survival rates. The charity also works to support patients outside of the hospital through a support network, a teenage conference and an informative education programme for students in schools, colleges and universities. We fund conferences and programs for professionals as well, to help them become fully educated and aware of the needs of teenagers with cancer, so that teens receive the best medical treatment possible.
For more information on teenagers with cancer and the work of TCT go to our website: www.teenagecancertrust.org

My Interests

We am to visit as many schools, colleges and universities as possible to tell them about the risks of teenage cancer and the problems young people with cancer face

I'd like to meet:

People who can help! We’re always looking for volunteers, donors, patrons, people who want to go on a trek, or a run, or jump out of a plane (with a parachute) for us, people who want to organise events for us, people who want to make a difference for teenagers in their community, companies who want to help, or just people who know someone who would like to help in some way. We’ve got plenty of ideas on our website, and we’re always looking for more!

Music:

Every year since 2000 lead singer of The Who and patron of the charity, Roger Daltrey, has masterminded Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London which have become some of the most enjoyable and spontaneous events in the entertainment industry calendar. It’s not uncommon for major artists to turn up on the night and join in a jam session on stage. It’s one of the rare occasions when “special guests” could really mean absolutely anyone.

Books:

Personal Best by Marc Woods Between Angel's and Demons by Emma Bowes- Romanelli

Heroes:

Our heroes are all the teenagers out there who show how strong they are by coming through their treatment for cancer and doing so much to support the charity. They are the reason we keep going.
But we could never forget our patrons, corporate supporters, media ambassadors, and all of the people who raise money for us. We could not exist without them! We love them all! You can read all about them on our main website, as well as meeting our staff and board of trustees.
