In the build up to World Cancer Day on 4th February, CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, is encouraging Bath residents to raise vital funds and awareness by wearing a Unity Band®.
James McDonald, Fundraising Manager at CLIC Sargent, said “Today, 11 children and young people will hear the shocking news that they have cancer.
“When cancer strikes young lives CLIC Sargent fights tirelessly to provide the financial, emotional and practical support they need.
“This World Cancer Day, we want everyone to ‘band together’ behind children and young people in Bath by donating to the cause, wearing a Unity Band® and spreading the word.
“These simple acts will help more young people thrive, and not just survive after their cancer diagnosis.”
Wear your Unity Band® on 4th February 2017, World Cancer Day, as a symbol of support and unity for everyone affected by cancer.
