Sound Waves
Sound Waves is the official podcast of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that empowers young people aged 8-24 to embrace their future after cancer. When treatment ends, the Trust’s work begins as, for many young people, picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible. On Sound Waves, the Trust community comes together to discuss themes and spark conversations relevant to anyone impacted by cancer in young people. From mental health to staying safe in the sun, from survivor's guilt to reflecting on where life has taken people since their diagnosis. All the while sharing tales from the Trust, and all the life-long memories made together. Come aboard!

Episode 3
Since Hana was diagnosed with cancer, since she came sailing with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, life has been a whirlwind.
On this episode of Sound Waves, she talks about her passion for environmentalism and how her diagnosis made her think of the Earth’s ill health too. In the last few years, she has been a voice of youth at international conferences, including the COPs.
She tells us about the challenges of being diagnosed during her studies, how stays in hospital gave her time to research the climate crisis, and how the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust spurred her on to do even more for the planet's future.
