Trust manager Pam Thornes said: “As a small national youth cancer charity with our roots in Yorkshire we are very proud that this project is based in Yorkshire. We hope people will embrace the fact it is all happening in Yorkshire and they have the power to make a big change to the lives of so many young cancer patients by simply donating £1.” For more information call 01484 510013.
