The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust support young people aged 8-24 in their recovery from cancer by inviting them to take part sailing or outdoor adventures, to inspire them to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.
Young people say that what happens after cancer treatment can be as difficult as, if not even more so, than the treatment itself. Young people remain vulnerable after treatment as it comes at a time of rapid physical, emotional and social development.
Cancer in young people often leads to lower educational achievement, relationship and friendship difficulties, body image issues, and/or ongoing late effects, such as extreme fatigue, infertility, osteoporosis, thyroid problems and hearing or vision loss.
Through the Ellen Macarthur Cancer trust’s free sailing and outdoor adventures, young people laugh, gain a new sense of purpose and self-worth, rediscover independence, and feel optimism for the future. They realise what they are capable of and stop feeling like ‘the only one’. They start to re-establish their purpose and place in the world and believe in a brighter future.
