A Day in the Life

Be the difference for Teenage Cancer Trust

Every day seven young people aged 13-24 hear the devastating words, “you have cancer.” 

And each day, in our 28 dedicated cancer units and in communities across the UK, we’re there for them – so that no young person faces cancer alone. 

By becoming a ‘Day in the Life’ supporter you can make one of those days possible.

Every day that we can change lives is special. By pledging £30,000 to fund our life changing work across the UK for 24 hours, you could make one of those days happen:

  • A day when our unique teenage and young adult wards provide a home from home where young people can receive round-the-clock, world class care.

  • A day when we connect young people with others their own age going through cancer, so they don’t feel alone.

  • A day when we talk through their worries and get answers to their questions, so they feel more in control.  

  • A day when we support young people to keep up with their studies, career and life goals, so they can recover and live life to the full.

The nurses are probably a big reason why I’m still alive. Whenever I go into the hospital, they feel like my second family.

What happens on the day

  • You can choose the date on which to give your support, on a day that’s special for you. It might be your birthday, an anniversary, or even a day when you want to remember somebody.

What you’ll get:

  • A personal report from our frontline services on the day itself, so you’ll know exactly what difference your support makes.  

  • A unique commemorative book, to keep and treasure. 

  • The knowledge that you’ve made our vital work possible, so we can be there for young people facing cancer across the UK.
