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 2
Continuing on from last week’s episode all around the theme of feeling accepted, this time we’re looking at what it means to feel more independent after spending some time with the Trust.
‘Independent’ is another word we’ve been hearing when talking to young people and the wider Trust community about how they feel after a trip.
Joining us to talk about that are Isla and Lucy. They both had cancer when they were very young, but as you’ll hear, that doesn’t mean the effects of it just go away when moving into adolescence and young adulthood.
