Run 100 Miles in October 2026

I’m running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be running 100 Miles in October, from the 1st to the 31st, to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 


Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

Young lives vs cancer: supporting young people through cancer

Tuesday 22nd Sep

Cancer can be an incredibly difficult experience, especially for children, teenagers and young adults. It can affect not only the person diagnosed, but also their family, friends and everyday life.

Young Lives vs Cancer is a charity that supports young people with cancer and their families. They provide practical, emotional and financial support to help people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

One of the most important things about the charity is that it reminds young people that they don’t have to face cancer alone. Whether someone needs someone to talk to, help with money worries, or support with the challenges that cancer can bring, Young Lives vs Cancer is there to help.

🎗️ Why fundraising matters

Fundraising helps charities continue providing this support. Even small actions can make a difference, such as taking part in a sponsored challenge, organising a bake sale or encouraging friends and family to donate.

By raising awareness and supporting Young Lives vs Cancer, we can help make sure young people affected by cancer have the support they deserve.

Together, we can help young lives face cancer with support, care and hope. 💗
