Share your story

Sharing stories about families that have been affected by childhood cancer is a really effective way to raise public awareness of cancers that affect children and young people.

Stories can support our media work, raising the profile of the charity. It can inspire more supporters to get involved with our work, which can help to fund research better, kinder treatments.

We've also heard from many people who also find it a great source of support to read about families who have gone through similar experiences.

We would love to hear, and share, your story.

Please note - to respect the privacy of young people and comply with consent laws, we can only accept stories directly from young people or from their parents or carers. We would encourage parents to ask their child, if they are old enough to understand, whether they are happy for their story to be shared.

We ask for your email address in case we need to get in touch with you to ask you any more information about your story. We won't send you any other emails unless you tick the box at the bottom of this form to give us permission.

Your story

Please tell us in as much detail as you can about your story. This could include, but is not limited to:

  • The type of cancer your child was diagnosed with
  • How old your child was when they were diagnosed
  • What kind of treatments your child had
  • How the diagnosis and treatments affected your child and your family

Your story could be used to support our media work, posted on our social media (including paid advertising), on our website, or by email to our supporters.

It's possible that we won't be able to use your story, for various reasons. If we plan on using your story, it's likely we will get in touch with you to let you know. We may also get in touch if we think your story would be suitable for any upcoming issues of our Contact Magazine.
