September Reading Challenge

I'm taking on a Reading Challenge in September for Teenage Cancer Trust

This September, I'm taking on my own reading challenge and raising funds to help ensure no young person faces cancer alone, by pledging to read at least one chapter per day for the entire month of September.

Last year my dear friend Ellie sadly passed away after fighting cancer for several years. Teenage cancer trust was a huge part of her journey, and provided so much support, especially during COVID times when her parents were unable to be in the hospital with her for appointments and treatment. They are a vital support network for young people with Cancer.

Ellie was an avid reader, so would've loved this challenge. 

I'm taking on the challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity who provides specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. I'd be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you!
