World Cancer Day is a global moment to come together, raise awareness, and take action against cancer in all its forms.

Each year, 150 children in Yorkshire will be diagnosed with cancer - their lives altered forever. Cancer in children is not the same as cancer in adults. It often develops suddenly, without known lifestyle or environmental causes. There is no known way to prevent it, which makes early diagnosis, access to treatment, and ongoing research even more critical.
