About cancer in children and young people
Every day, 10 children and young people in the UK hear the shocking news they have cancer. Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years. Although survival rates are over 80%, cancer remains the single largest cause of death from disease in children and young people in the UK.
“We are delighted The Liverpool Food and Drinks Festival have chosen to support our work, their support will make a real difference to the lives of young people with cancer. Thanks to LFDF’s backing, CLIC Sargent’s dedicated team of nurses, social workers and other vital services will be able to support even more children, young people and their families through the hardest of times.” -Jayne Moran – Area Fundraising Manager at CLIC Sargent
