It's All about the Kids ...

FACT:
Today, 10 children and young people in the UK will hear the shocking news that they have cancer.

Cancer is a terrible disease. I lost my dad when I was 19. He was 55, which is still very young (1 year older than I am today), but when cancer hits kids, we found ourselves against that feeling of injustice, of 'why them'....

There is a Charity out there - amoung other of course - that focuses on those children and their family. The name? Clic Sargent for Children with Cancer.

CLIC Sargent was formed in 2005 after a successful merger between CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for Children (Sargent Cancer Care for Children - founded in 1968 by Sylvia Darley OBE, and CLIC - Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood - founded in 1976).

Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years. Being diagnosed with cancer is a frightening experience and the emotional, practical and financial implications of treatment are intensely challenging for the whole family.

CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life.
