Every single one of the 9 winners are utterly incredible and have given so much to changing the lives of young people with cancer.
Enid Waterfall has been fundraising in her grandson, Richard’s name. He sadly died in 2018 after his fight with cancer but Enid has fought on to help others suffering from the same as her dear Richard.

Alex Charlton was diagnosed with cancer and after struggling with losing his hair he decided to make it into a positive by inspiring his friends and family to shave their heads raising a huge amount of money for TCT. He was given the all clear by his doctors during the pandemic.
Julie Gonzalez is a youth support coordinator and since the pandemic has been working from home bringing happiness and laughter. She has brought her sessions online and is always there to support young people – especially those with palliative care.
