🎙️ This month, Amy Junkin sat down with Ben and Lori from Young Lives vs Cancer to learn more about the incredible work the organisation does to support children and young people with cancer, as well as their families. 💗 They chatted about the support Young Lives vs Cancer provides, the challenges families can face while accessing treatment, and how communities can get involved and make a difference. As part of our support, Ormeau Labs is teaming up with Young Lives vs Cancer on Thursday, 1st October for our Moveathon! 💪 Our community will take on one big challenge: travelling 350 miles in just one day on HENCH exercise machines. 💗 Why 350 miles? The average distance a young person with cancer and their family travels to access treatment in just one month is 350 miles. 🎧 Tune in to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eicPS-hz 🔗 Donate now: https://lnkd.in/en4DgcGE Amy Junkin | Benjamin Green | Rosy Johnston | Young Lives vs Cancer
