Every day, in the UK, Six Teenagers are diagnosed with some form of cancer.

 

That’s over 2,000 Teenagers every year
 
But these young patients don’t stop being teenagers just because they get cancer. 
 
Often teenagers with cancer receive treatment within inappropriate facilities, either being treated  alongside very young patients or with patients much older then themselves. 
 
 

Tryumph for Teenage Cancer is helping to bridge that gap by providing funding, raised by the annual charity rugby match and other equally important events, to help fund purpose built units. 
 
Funds raised by Tryumph for Teenage Cancer go towards ensuring that young cancer patients get the best possible care in hospital with the chance to do all the things that other teenagers do.
 
Locally, as part of a bigger organisation, we have helped to successfully raise more than £500,000 to support local Teenagers with Cancer.
 
Monies raised have helped in the creation of a temporary unit within the existing Royal Hospital for Sick Children, with the goal being a purpose built dedicated unit in the Western General Hospital sometime in the future
 

 
The Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist teenage cancer units in NHS hospitals with the aim being to give every young person with cancer access to a unit and improve survival rates.
 
TCT currently has 9 units around the UK and is planning to open a further 14 units by 2012. 
 
At present we only have 1 full time unit in Scotland, at Gartnavel in Glasgow. 
There is also a temporary unit which was recently set up in the Sick Childrens Hospital in Edinburgh.
  
Our goal is to open a permanent 6 – 10 bed Teenage Cancer Unit, at the Western General Hospital, for older teenagers.
This unit will benefit teenagers and young adults aged between 16 and 24 years old fighting cancer. 
 
The unit is estimated to cost around £2 million to build, half of which has to be raised locally. 
 
All money raised through Tryumph for Teenage Cancer event will go towards the appeal.
