Dame Ellen MacArthur's cancer charity is asking for your support this Christmas to help even more young survivors get on the water for much needed support in 2025.
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, which has bases in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight and Largs on Scotland's west coast, supported 671 young people this year, more than any other year since Dame Ellen set it up in 2003.
The national charity takes young people aged 8-24 who are living through and beyond cancer on sailing and outdoor adventures to inspire them to believe in a brighter future.
For many young survivors, picking up where they left off is impossible, and adjusting to their 'new normal' is extremely difficult.
That's why when treatment ends, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust's work begins.
The charity's sailing and outdoor adventures are a chance for young people to laugh and have fun again. Their optimism returns and their mental wellbeing improves. They stop feeling like 'the only one' and gain a new sense of purpose and self-worth.
With your help this Christmas, more young survivors will believe in a brighter future in 2025.
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is there for anyone looking for support, no matter how long off treatment they are. Visit :- www.ellenmacarthurcancertrust.org
