If you work in the East of England please take a look at share our Shine Shake Up Norwich for people in their 20s, 30s or 40s with cancer! It's taking place on 7th December at the Big C Centre (central Norwich) and we still have a few places available. It's a day-long event for anyone with any type of #cancer, at any stage. Participants must register to attend. Details and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/enn_XGPF

Since starting Shine Cancer Support we've seen an increasing need for our services, with rates of cancer in UK adults aged 25 to 49 increasing by 24% over the last 30 years. We've often felt frustrated that this growing group of cancer patients is invisible within the healthcare system and to health policy makers. You can help us change that with this survey: https://lnkd.in/emFax23b We want to build a picture of the experiences and challenges faced by adults aged 20 to 49 who have had a cancer diagnosis. If you're in your 20s, 30s or 40s and have had a cancer diagnosis please spare 10 minutes to fill it in. You can answer this survey whether you're newly diagnosed, in remission, or living with advanced or incurable cancer (there's also a chance to win one of three £25 Amazon gift cards....).

We've been so proud to partner Irwin Mitchell over the last year and are delighted to renew it! They've not only supported many of our in-person events but have also helped members of the Shine community on tricky issues like work and access to their medical records.

Time to announce the total raised during this year's Step Up For Shine...🤗👟🧡 Across the 30 days of September, 30 participants pushed themselves to complete their chosen missions to raise funds and awareness for young adults facing cancer and, of course, they absolutely smashed it! We're so pleased to announce that Step Up For Shine 2024 has raised an incredible amount of £11,000! We can't thank everyone who took part enough - these funds will make the world of difference to the work we do and the number of people across the UK that we're able to reach. We hope you'll join us in saying a huge well done to everyone involved! If your workplace is interested in taking part next year, drop us an email at fundraising@shinecancersupport.org and we can give you more information. Here's to next year - #StepUpForShine over and out! 🐕🦺🐈⬛🐢🦫

Very excited to be working with MOVE Against Cancer Charity to bring this event to Cardiff! If you know anyone in their 20s, 30s or 40s affected by cancer, please do let them know about this day - it will be a mix of sessions to help you rebuild physically and mentally after a diagnosis. Registration is here: https://lnkd.in/eTgsWCvw

Time is ticking for those who would like to join us at this year's Shine Connect conference on 12 (London) and 13 (online) October. You can register via this link: https://lnkd.in/eeP4dXpK . Check out how the conference went down last year here: https://lnkd.in/etw8vsSy

On paper it seemed easy. Well do-able. 20,000 reps across 4 reasonably fit people. It was harder than I thought. But the upside was that it was over in 90 mins! What a great team effort for Shine Cancer Support at Battle Cancer this weekend. Over £3k raised - there's still time to donate! 😀 Link below for donations!
