Gold Ribbon Stories
We share stories to honour the experiences of children with childhood cancer and their families.
The candle icon represents the children who have died, who are loved, missed and remembered always.
We are deeply grateful to the families who have trusted us with their words and their precious photographs.
If you would like to share your story please email us at info@childhoodcancer.ie.
