Our recommended travel partners:
We work closely with four travel partners. Each offers a huge variety of challenges, on different dates, at different prices. To optimise your experience, we’d recommend exploring each site. If you have any specific questions you can contact the travel partner directly or email us on fundraisingevents@younglivesvcancer.org.uk.
There are typically 2 payment options to choose from:
1. Charity Sponsorship – you pay a registration fee, do lots of fundraising and we cover the cost of your event place!
2. Self fund – you pay the full cost of the event place – fundraise whatever you want, with no set target or deadline, and there’s no cost at all to the charity
- We love our trekkers, and we want them to have an awesome experience! Some of the benefits of joining our team are:
- A Young Lives vs Cancer t-shirt so you look awesome and stand out in the crowd
- Our closed Facebook group where you can meet other Young Lives vs Cancer sporting legends, share fundraising ideas and training tips
- Our online Event Hub where you can find training plans, useful fundraising tools and injury resolution advice
- We’ll shower you with advice, ideas and materials to get the money rolling in, and if you ever need us we’re only a phone call away.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it threatens everything, for them and their family.
At a time when they should be busy being children, enjoying their rollercoaster teenage years or finding their feet at uni, life becomes full of fear. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, of overwhelming money worries, mental health stretched to breaking point, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we get that. We are the charity that helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
