Happy Pride month! It&apos;s important to understand how someone&apos;s cancer diagnosis intersects with their LGBTQ identity. Both are significant, both have their own communities, and there are bridges that can be built between the two.  Three Trust graduate volunteers - Amelia, Ivans, Louise - share their experiences with cancer and being part of the LGBTQ community, and why taking people as they are entirely, as their genuine selves, matters so much. They also discuss being part of the Trust community and how essential safe and inclusive spaces are for people to feel a sense of acceptance, especially while living through and beyond cancer.

Ellen and Maxine: 20 years since the first ever Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust adventure

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!
