No Teen Should Face Cancer Alone
For more than three decades, Sir Roger Daltrey has dedicated his life to improving cancer care for adolescents and young adults.
Today, the Teenage Cancer Foundation is helping expand that mission across America.
One of the world's greatest performers could have spent his life collecting awards and filling stadiums.
Instead, Sir Roger Daltrey chose to dedicate decades of his life to ensuring that teenagers and young adults facing cancer receive the care, support, and dignity they deserve.
His work through Teen Cancer Trust in the United Kingdom and Teen Cancer America in the United States has transformed the lives of countless young people and their families.
The Forgotten Cancer Patient
Every year, thousands of adolescents and young adults face a cancer diagnosis during one of the most important stages of their lives.
They are often too old for pediatric programs and too young for traditional adult oncology care.
Yet they face challenges that extend far beyond treatment.
Cancer interrupts: School, Friendships, Sports, Music, College, Careers, Mental health and Family life.
These young people deserve care designed specifically for their stage of life.
The Teenage Cancer Foundation exists to ensure they are never overlooked and never forgotten.
Building on a Proven Foundation
For more than a decade, Teen Cancer America has worked alongside many of America's leading hospitals to improve care for adolescents and young adults facing cancer.
Together, these partnerships have helped create specialized spaces, programs and support services designed specifically for young people navigating cancer.
Today, these efforts extend across an extraordinary network of nationally recognized institutions, including Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson Cancer Center, UCLA Health, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, University of Michigan Health and many others.
The Teenage Cancer Foundation was established to help expand awareness, fundraising and community support for this important mission.
Why It Matters
For teenagers and young adults, cancer interrupts far more than health.
It interrupts education. Sports. Music. Friendships. Graduation College. Careers. Mental health. Family life.
The Foundation works to ensure that every young person receives the support they need not only to survive cancer, but to continue living their lives with hope, dignity and opportunity.
OUR MISSION
The Teenage Cancer Foundation mobilizes resources and strategic partnerships to expand life-changing care for adolescents and young adults with cancer, delivering essential physical and mental health support to a group too often overlooked and forgotten.
