I lost my mum last year to Cancer when I was 19. I found during her 4 year battle there was a lack of support out there for people my age and younger. There was loads for my mum but not a lot for the children. I’ve started my own Cancer support group called LACS (Life After Cancer Support) it’s aimed at children and young adults. The idea is it’s a support network where they can share stories, share advices, coping techniques and strategies etc. I started hosting group meetings but found children could be quite shy and nervous which is understandable so I’ve now launched my own YouTube Channel called Life After Cancer Support. It launched last week. The channel will include Vlogs of all my charity work as I fundraise a lot, real life stories, advice videos, question and answer videos. The channel could be the perfect place for a young person to get advice on how to deal with problems involving Cancer in their life. Here’s the link

ive experienced all aspects of cancer from my mum being diagnosed to her treatment and her death. I have a lot of life experience to offer to young people like myself. I’ve also raised nearly £25,000 for CRUK in just over a year.
