@RoyalFamily Nice that the King can helicopter into London for his treatment. Charities are asking Government to get funding to help children & YA get to treatment. Some are missing treatments due to lack of money. Children & YA treatment centres are up to 300 miles away. Unbelievable
@graemepark So sorry to hear this devastating news💔My 10 year old son passed away 26.04.21 from a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. Such a cruel disease, yet alone a rare pretty untreatable diagnosis on top of that. Sending love and courage to you and your family. #sarcomaawareness

Dylan's getting ready to knock on the door of No.10! His family have been travelling to Birmingham ever since he was diagnosed with leukaemia at 2, costing them £200 a month. Tomorrow he’ll be helping us hand in our petition for a Young Cancer Patient Travel Fund. #RunningOnEmpty

"It was really difficult to find that money on top of my other financial responsibilities - I'd skip meals and gave up my flat to be able to afford to travel to my life-saving treatment."
