About Young Lives vs Cancer:

We are the charity that helps children and young people (0-25) and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Powered by the kindness of our supporters, we’ll face it all together. Join us and your skills will make a real difference to the lives of young cancer patients.

We want everyone under 25 with cancer, and their families, to get the support and help they need during their cancer treatment and beyond, including bereaved families living with emotional pain.
