How did you feel at the end of your trip?
Positivity and optimism is the best cure to the loneliness and isolation young people feel after treatment. As the young people explain in this video a weight is lifted off your shoulders by being around people who understand. The support of Trust trips can help ease the mental impact of a diagnosis. Getting life back on track is more than just finishing treatment: It’s new experiences, new friends, new memories that will last a lifetime, one that is filled with so much potential.
