At a time when they should be busy being children, enjoying their rollercoaster teenage years or finding their feet at university, life becomes full of fear. Fear of treatment, families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, mental health stretched to breaking point, or having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to. Young Lives are the charity who helps children and young people (0-25) and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2021\/09\/LaurenR_blog_9142021_img_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2021\/09\/LaurenR_blog_9142021_img_3.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.insentragroup.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2021\/09\/LaurenR_blog_9142021_img_3-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Lives vs Cancer provide support to families from the moment the doctor says \u2018cancer\u2019. They are on hand to offer support as unique as every young person they meet. From financial support and providing families with a place to stay, to helping with day-to-day challenges so a diagnosis doesn\u2019t have to mean sacrificing \u2018normal life\u2019, donations mean children and young people won\u2019t face cancer alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmhc.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ronald McDonald House<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RMHC are on a mission to support the ever-changing needs of seriously ill Australian children and their families.
