Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - September 2016

By

Each year in the UK almost three hundred children die as a result of cancer and each week almost one hundred children are told they have cancer.  Being diagnosed with cancer is a very frightening experience the result of which can have considerable emotional, practical and financial implications for the whole family.  There will be a number of differing events across the UK that aim to raise awareness of childhood cancer, its impact and highlight the benefits of helping children spend more time at home.   
For more information about Childhood Cancer Awareness Month please see the CLIC Sargent website: http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/
