Each day in the UK, 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer - a life-changing and devastating reality. Of those, two will sadly not survive. For many of the survivors, long-term side effects can have a lasting and profound impact on the rest of their lives.
Every September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) shines a spotlight on the realities faced by children with cancer. Inspired by the gold ribbon that represents these young warriors, it’s a tim e to Go Gold - to raise awareness, amplify voices, and call for change.
However, despite over 4000 children and young people facing a cancer diagnosis each year here in the UK, childhood cancer remains vastly underrepresented in public awareness.
But this September, with your help, that changes.
Kids Get Cancer Too is a bold, inclusive, gold-branded campaign built to:
-
Unite charities, families, and organisations under one powerful message.
-
Drive visibility during CCAM - one logo, one message, shared far and wide for maximum impact.
-
Build support for safer, child-specific treatments, with links to donate directly to participating childhood cancer research charities below.
-
Shine a spotlight on the charities that help fund the majority of childhood cancer research in the UK - and help grow awareness and support for all organisations that stand beside children and families affected by this devastating disease.
-
A special concert will be taking place in Swansea Building Society Arena to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer and the Kids Get Cancer Too campaign. For more information, visit www.celebrationofmusic.co.uk
Please join us to make childhood cancer impossible to ignore.
