what your fundraising could mean to families facing cancer
How your support makes a difference
Sarah’s story
“When my friend could take me, I would give her money for petrol which would be £5 each trip. But there’s other times I’ve had to pay out £12-15 for a taxi.”
Gideon’s story
“We had to be quite brutal, every bill that we could cancel got cancelled. You know you’ve got to buy extra bedding, you’ve got extra electricity costs because you’re doing a lot more laundry, and when you’re in hospital and have to eat, you end up spending more than you would on home cooked meals.”
make a donation
Our Crisis Fund, which is made possible by supporters like you, has already helped hundreds of children and young people with cancer and their families facing financial hardship this winter. But there are young cancer patients who haven’t yet received the relief of a grant. Some risk going without vital treatment because they can’t afford to get to hospital. We can’t support them without your help. If you’re not able to take on a World Cancer Day challenge make a donation today.
