I AM writing to tell you about our charity, which supports the Churchill Hospital and The John Radcliffe Hospital.
The Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust is a charity which funds research into cancers affecting young people in the age group 13-24, and support 43 hospitals across the UK.
As our charity and the support we provide is growing, we are hoping to reach people who are local to the hospitals we support, as they are the ones who will most likely benefit and we hope will support our cause.
Whilst we support individual hospital projects, we also have campaigns that run on a national basis including our Gifts 4 Young Cancer Patients at Christmas appeal, where we send over 400 presents every year to hospitals to ensure every young cancer patient in hospital over Christmas receives an extra gift.
On a wider scale, we provide hospitals with laptop libraries to help young people keep connected with friends, family and school work as some patients have to travel far from home and can be hospitalised for long periods of time and sadly suffer from social isolation.
We hope your readers will help us to spread the message of the work we are doing locally for the hospitals and the teen and adolescent cancer patients in your area.
