When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.

 Young Lives vs Cancer helps children and young people (0-25) and their families find the strength to face cancer.
