Each day in the UK, 12 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.
Please join us to make childhood cancer impossible to ignore.
