'Bear-Able Gift Bags Programme'
To live with cancer at any age is a challenge, but it is especially tough for young people who are fighting cancer. By sending out gift bags filled with toys, games, books, and other fun things, Cancer Recovery Foundation helps to make the time youngsters spend in hospital more bearable, taking their mind off cancer treatment.
Cancer Recovery Foundation is active across the United Kingdom and a number of other countries. You can read some Messages of Thanks from those who have received gift bags and we welcome help from both individuals and organisations in raising the funds needed to provide gift bags.
