Shine is the only UK charity that exclusively supports men and women in their 20s, 30s and 40s that are dealing with cancer of any type. Cancer is rarer in people under 50 and, although any cancer experience will be difficult, it is easy to feel isolated when you can't find people in similar circumstances to you. We provide information, support and events that encourage friendship and support and

also reduce isolation. We'd love you all to 'like' our page to share our message and show support for our members. We have a private group on Facebook for young adults with cancer (facebook.com/groups/shinecancersupport) and another for "Shine Plus Ones" - the partners, family and close friends of young adults with cancer (facebook.com/groups/shineplusones). You may request to join these groups - please send us a direct message via this page so we know who you are and can add you! Liking this page will mean you are up-to-date with what is happening with Shine and you will get invited to the best parties and events!! Please join and spread the message to your friends! Thanks
