Lola, aged 4
Lola finished her cancer treatment a week before Christmas but then sadly relapsed and spent the whole of the festive period in hospital.
There will be thousands of children with cancer receiving treatment in hospital over Christmas when they should be at home.
Tiernan, aged 3
Tiernan was diagnosed with cancer of the kidneys on Christmas Eve 2021.
He went on to spend much of the festive period feeling cut off and frightened in hospital undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Max, aged 7
Max was diagnosed with cancer shortly after his birthday, and has recently started new, around-the-clock treatment that will last four weeks.
He already finds it hard missing out on day trips and school, imagine how he'd feel if he were stuck in hospital over Christmas too like many other children with cancer.
Imogen, aged 4
Children with cancer spend a lot of time on a hospital ward. Four-year-old Imogen knows all about that.
She endured four weeks of chemotherapy followed by surgery, away from home and her creature comforts. This year, lots of children like Imogen will be in hospital over Christmas.

Donate Now
This Christmas, donate a ted and send it to a child with cancer in a hospital bed
Our Cuddles for Christmas campaign aims to raise £14,400 to deliver 1,200 warmable teddies to children being treated for cancer in hospital this Christmas. If we're lucky enough to raise more money than we need, any extra will be used to help fill cancer kits to send out to cancer patients in 2024. We receive no government support and our services are needed more than ever. Thank you.
