In this episode we shine a spotlight on the incredible work of Teenage Cancer Trust | UK Cancer Charity and hear first-hand experiences from those whose lives have been transformed by its support. Host Darren is joined by Stephen, Associate Director of Services at Teenage Cancer Trust, and Grace, a 20-year-old with a lived experience of cancer from Glasgow, who shares her powerful journey through neuroblastoma treatment and recovery.

• The Origins of TCT: From a humble fashion show to a nationwide network of 28 specialist units.

• Life Inside TCT Units: Xboxes, pizza parties, and spaces that feel like home—not hospital.
