Help us be there for other young people like Kirsten

Today, and every day, seven young people in the UK will hear the words “you have cancer”. Some sadly won’t make it through the treatment.

Emma and Neil lost their daughter Kirsten after she was diagnosed with leukaemia aged just 23.

We were there for them during the toughest times they’ve ever faced, and we’re still there for them today.

Help us make sure all young people and their families going through cancer get the expert care and support they deserve.
