Talan's Trust - Local Charity
Talan's Trust, a local charity, dedicated to raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer, which in turn will lead to earlier diagnosis.
Talan died in May 2017 from Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a type of soft tissue sarcoma that grows in active muscles of the body. Talan was 19. His family miss him greatly.
A diagnosis of Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a truly devastating one as there are currently no effective targeted treatments for the aggressive form of this disease (that Talan had).
Talan’s Trust are determined to help change this.
Since Talan’s Trust was formed in 2017 the Trust has raised over £160,000 With numerous fund raisers, and the help of the local community we are able to continue to help support a full time researcher at the I.C.R. The Institute of Cancer Research.
