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 1
Over the last few years the Trust has done lots research with young people, families, hospitals, charity partners, the wider Trust community. This series is going to be about the difference and the brighter futures you have told us the Trust makes, and it’s going to be brought to life by young people and their real-life experiences.
Athena, Meg, and Leanna - who all sailed together in 2021! - join Sound Waves to talk about what feeling accepted means, and the difference it makes when you no longer feel like 'the only one'. That's a feeling we've been hearing about time and again, and they make clear why it's so important.
