When a child is diagnosed with the disease, it affects not just them but the whole family. This day out reminds them that they are youngsters, not just cancer patients. The annual event is in its sixth year and supports families through their difficult treatment journey and during recovery. When Oliver found out he could go to the day out again he was thrilled. It’s great of the charity to hold the event for the children, even after they’ve gone through their treatment and have been given the all clear.– Sarah, Oliver’s mum.
