Gaming and Teenage Cancer Trust
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer.”
Facing cancer at such a young age can feel like the loneliest place in the world - but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Gaming can make a difference. By fundraising with your streaming community, you can help make sure no young person has to face cancer alone.
