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!

Lewis's Rickshaw Challenge and our friends at Children in Need

December 14, 2020 • Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust • Season 4 • Episode 4

It's not every day you raise over £4.7m, but that's just what Lewis did when he was part of this year's Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need. He returns to Sound Waves to talk about what it was all like, from having to cycle at home after someone in the crew contracted COVID-19, to bonding with his teammates over Zoom.

Joining him is Pam, a regional grants officer at Children in Need and good friend of the Trust, who pulls back the curtain on how our invaluable partnership works.

Holly from the Trust team joins too, whose role is linked with Children in Need’s support. She’s integral to piecing together everything needed to put young people in touch with the Trust so they can access the support they want and need.

This is our final episode of 2020. Thank you so much to everyone who's checked out an episode and listened along since we launched Sound Waves in the spring. We'll be back in the new year. Until then, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
