Supporting young cancer patients in West Wales:
Join us for a great night and help us fundraise for the first treatment room in Wales – outside of Cardiff – specifically for young cancer patients in West Wales who are supported by Teenage Cancer Trust and Hywel Dda University Health Board.
This room, in Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth, will be the first of a number of rooms that Daring to Dream is committed to transforming for those living with cancer within Hywel Dda University Health Board.
It’s use will include for treatments, counselling, discussions with the Trust’s youth worker and allow teenagers and young adults to deal better with living with cancer by accessing essential services much nearer their home.
