Young Cancer - Sweden
Supporting young cancer patients
Young Cancer supports young adults who have or have had cancer, and their next of kin. As a part of this work they give out grants to those in need of economic support. The grants can help pay for rent, medication, conversation support and physical rehabilitation. This way, Young Cancer makes sure that no young person with cancer is fighting alone.
Kavli Trust has so far funded Young Cancer with NOK 1.5 million, enabling them to maintain the grant scheme and continue their work to improve the life of young cancer patients.
