You might have seen that Dame Ellen MacArthur, our patron and founder, recently met up with a young woman called Maxine, who was part of the first ever Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust sailing adventure 20 years ago in 2003.
She was just 10 at the time, and now she’s reunited with Ellen ahead of her 31st birthday.
This episode, in celebration of the Trust's 20th anniversary, is their conversation.
It's wonderful to hear Maxine talk about the impact of a sailing adventure 20 years ago and how it’s shaped her life ever since. Ellen also shares how and why the Trust was set up in 2003, and where the inspiration for the charity came from.
The things we can do to support young people living through and beyond cancer now, today, can change the years and decades ahead of them. As Ellen says in this conversation with Maxine, this is what it’s all about.
