Knowledge is Power

There is no such thing as a silly question. We can 99.99% guarantee that anything playing on your mind – about treatment, food, sex, exercise, symptoms – is keeping or has kept someone else awake in the dead of night too at some point. 

It’s our mission to empower you with the collective knowledge of those who have trodden the path before you, so we’ve put together the ultimate resource bank for you. From PDFs to replays of events, we have it all.

And what if you’ve really stumbled upon a question not yet put out into the world? We can absolutely get the answer for you. We have the leading professionals in medical, wellbeing and physical activity on hand, as well as the best experts going – hundreds of young people living with cancer – to make sure that no-one is left in the dark on those tricky issues that rear up and get in your way.
