Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Every September, we go gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

This month helps to highlight in effect that childhood cancer has on families, and in turn helps us to raise funds to that we can continue offering crucial support to those families.

We want you to get involved with your friends, families, neighbours and work colleagues to help us raise awareness and funds for children fighting cancer! Visit the Get Involved section of our website to see the many ways you can help!

Roxie-Beau's Cancer Journey

Roxie-Beau was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a cancerous tumour on the brain, in December 2015. She underwent surgery, and chemotherapy before being given the 'all-clear'. Then, one year later after her original diagnosis, a routine scan showed a re-growth of the same tumour, and Roxie-Beau had to being her fight all over again!

Did you know that childhood cancer costs families an extra £600 per month? For the last 20 months, Roxie's parents have been dividing their time between work and the hospital, which has reduced their income and had a huge impact financially.
