Glow Gold in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Understandably, childhood cancer is something that most parents do not want to think about.
​
One in every 285 children gets cancer before the age of 20.
​
Nationwide, there are 4,000 children and young adults that are diagnosed with cancer every year.
It is also the most common medical cause of death in children and young people in the UK.
​
Grace left a legacy – a wish to help others.
​
As one of the founder members of Glow Gold Campaign, it was stablished to raise awareness of childhood cancer during September through gold illumination of iconic buildings throughout the UK and the world.
​
It was set up by a group of parents of children who have had cancer. By working together we really can make a difference.https://www.facebook.com/GlowGoldSeptember/
