Send a cuddly Christmas ted to a child with cancer
Sadly, children like Tiernan, Lola, Imogen and Max will spend this Christmas in a hospital bed, enduring painful cancer treatments.
Instead of enjoying parties, presents and festive celebrations with their loved ones, these children will be feeling poorly, lonely and frightened. And at times like this, only a cuddle from a special teddy will do.
Our warmable Christmas teddies can bring a child comfort when they need it most – and we want to send 1,200 of them to children’s cancer wards across the UK this year. Each teddy costs just £12 to deliver and you can add a special message to the one you help to send.
So will you send a ted to a hospital bed, and give a child with cancer some comfort at Christmas.
“Tiernan loves his Cancer Support UK bear and has named him ‘Cuddles’. He takes the ted to bed with him every night. Cuddles has been a real comfort to him and Tiernan enjoys the bear’s warmth at bedtime.”
How you can help us deliver Christmas Cuddles
This Christmas, there will be children with cancer in hospitals and hospices throughout the country. Going through this ordeal is tough, and can be isolating and upsetting for these vulnerable children. You can reach out to them by giving £12 today. Your donation will help us to send the softest warmable ted straight to their hospital bed, delivering a very special cuddle in time for Christmas. They’ll also be able to read the message in your gift tag – and know how much you care.
