Today, 12 more children and young people in the UK will hear the life changing news that they have cancer. This April alone, 360 young people and their families will receive this news. Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years.
April is Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month and we are asking you to join us and take on a Keepy Uppy vs Cancer 360 Challenge, in support of the 360 children and young people who will be diagnosed this month.

Get StartedWhen a child is diagnosed with cancer it threatens everything, for them and their family.
At a time when they should be busy being children, enjoying their rollercoaster teenage years or finding their feet at uni, life becomes full of fear. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, of overwhelming money worries, mental health stretched to breaking point, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we get that. We are the charity that helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
