Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust
Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust inspires young people aged 8-24 to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.
Through our sailing and outdoor adventures, young people laugh, gain a new sense of purpose and self-worth, rediscover independence, and feel optimism for the future. They realise what they are capable of and stop feeling like ‘the only one’. They start to re-establish their purpose and place in the world and believe in a brighter future.
Every day around 12 young people under 25 are diagnosed with cancer.
What happens after treatment can be as difficult as, if not even more so, than the treatment itself. This is not talked about or is understood enough.
For many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible. That is why when treatment ends our work begins.
