Charity
Every day in the UK, six teenagers are told they have cancer. This is a rising figure and there are already more young people than children with the disease. These young people often get a raw deal, receiving hospital treatment in inappropriate facilities catering for children or the elderly. Teenage Cancer Trust focuses on the needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer by providing specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. As well as state-of-the-art facilities to keep patients occupied during long stays in hospital, the units provide an environment where teenagers can meet others in a similar situation. The charity estimates that, with the units they currently have around the UK, only half of all teenagers diagnosed with cancer now have access to the dedicated, specialist support they provide. But Teenage Cancer Trust’s aim is to build enough units so that, by 2012, every teenager will be treated on one. For more information on Teenage Cancer Trust visit www.teenagecancertrust.org

Kilimanjaro Climb for Teenage Cancer Trust
The trip to Africa was a success! After 6 hard days, both Archie and Ross climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!
Thanks everyone for your help so far and our page is still open for donations so please help if you can!
Thanks again,
Archie and Ross
Thanks goes to Shona Dunn who donated £500 by asking her friends to make a donation to the campaign rather than buy her a gift for her 50th birthday!
The Don't Stop Believing Ball organised and managed by Ian and Victoria Watson was an outstanding success, raising £18,000.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Ian and Victoria for all their hard work. We very much appreciate everything they did to make sure the Ball was successful.
Thanks also goes to Simon Watson for coming up with the idea to call our challenge "Don't Stop Believing".
