Welcome

​

Greetings, 

​

CanCare4Living, Childhood Cancer Foundation Ireland and CanTeen Ireland are joining forces to host an online conference on Saturday 11th September. Our organisations are advocates for children, adolescents & young adults who have/had cancer and for their families.   

We are delighted to be supported by the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), the Irish Cancer Society (ICS) and Children’s Health Ireland (CHI@Crumlin).

​

The title of the conference is CAYAS – Childhood, Adolescent, Young Adult Cancers & Survivorship, the theme is Forward Together, and the CAYAS community's lived experience is central to the conversation.

​

The aim of this conference is to bring together all those impacted by or involved in the CAYA cancer community - including patients, survivors, families, carers, advocates, health care professionals, researchers and policy makers – all are welcome. 

​

When a project needs input and support from many different people,  it’s said ‘it takes a village’  - we want to bring that village together to join the conversation and collaborate to benefit our CAYAS community.

​

Please join us to help make a difference.

​

Yours in hope, ​

​
