Scared, isolated and highly vulnerable to infection, young cancer patients desperately need your support.
Every day, parents are still being told the shattering news that their child has cancer. Children are still going through brutal treatment and families are still facing the devastating costs cancer brings.
Without your help, they risk facing all of this alone.

Leo and Lisa’s story
Leo was four years old when he was diagnosed with leukaemia. He’s currently on his third cycle of maintenance treatment. Coronavirus has had a massive impact on his family.
“I’m a million percent more worried about Leo at the moment. I feel very lucky that, thanks to CLIC Sargent, Leo has had his bloods done at home so we don’t have to go to hospital, where he could get infected with coronavirus. The CLIC Sargent team are brilliant, and they are always there if I need them.”
