Support the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust this Christmas and help inspire more young people to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.
Cancer can turn a young person's world upside down. Life goes on hold at the time you should be at your most adventurous and vibrant.
Our life-changing sailing and outdoor adventures give young people back the hope, joy and light that cancer stripped away.
Help bring brighter days to more young people next summer by supporting the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust this Christmas.
Struggling to know what to get someone who says they don’t want anything? Not sure what to do for Secret Santa? Maybe you'd rather people spent money on something other than you this season? Donating on someone's behalf is a great way to give them something while transforming young lives after cancer.
Wherever you are in the world, we’re challenging you to take the plunge!
For those on the Isle of Wight, join our annual Gurnard Green Boxing Day Dip at 11am or, if you’re not local, why not make a splash in your nearest bit of water. Sea, lake, lido, or even a chilly paddling pool… if it’s cold, it counts!
Yes, it’ll take your breath away, but it’s nothing compared to the shock young people and their families feel when they first hear the word cancer. By taking the plunge, you’ll help get more young people out on the water in 2027 and give them hope, joy, and a renewed sense of possibility as they navigate life through and beyond cancer.
And don’t forget to tag @EMCTrust on social using #DaretoDip so we can cheer you on!
"When you’ve got a shared experience, you bond with people and can be more empathetic. You can trust them more."
Emre's mum says the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is 'the only thing that has enabled him to get on with his life'. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Wilms Tumour at six years old, Emre was too young to completely understand what was happening.
