Here are just a few of the wonderful Youth Cancer Trust holiday stories from guests, their companions as well as parents.
At the age of 13 whilst on holiday with my parents and 3 siblings, I found a lump on my right thigh.
Liam, now 28, was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour at the age of 10.
I was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 1998. I had been suffering with headaches, so I went to see my GP who couldn’t tell me why this was, so she sent me to my optician.
Warren was diagnosed with a brain tumour in September 2003.
My name is Sania and I suffer from a brain tumour that impacts my everyday life in many different ways.
I was diagnosed in December 2005, at the age of 11, with Non-Hodgkins T-Cell Lymphoma – a cancer of the blood.
When I was 11, I was diagnosed with an inoperable tectal plate brain tumour and hydrocephalus.
Josie, our daughter, had her 3rd pituitary brain tumour in 1999.
I was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in my right shoulder blade in October 2000, I was 16.
I have been to the Youth Cancer Trust many times with my friend Ellen.
Once again I've had an amazing time and what a way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you all those who have made this possible. It really does make a difference.

I’ve had an awesome time. Great to get away and chill out. Did some amazing things I’d never done before. YCT rocks.

This week has really been amazing, I have loved everything! You're an inspiring pair of people and I am sure you have helped give every young person as much confidence as this holiday has given me! Thanks again, I am so grateful for everything you've done.

Well what can I say that I haven't already said a hundred times or more? This is now my 9th visit to Tracy Ann House and I have now been coming here for nearly 10 years!
I feel so privileged to be allowed to continue to visit and to be able to know all the wonderful people that help make these visits possible - Jim, Brenda & Georgie in particular - wonderful, selfless people who always make you feel welcome.
Your continued support & recognition of the issues facing the 25+ age group is fantastic and I'm so glad that someone is now taking this seriously. Many heartfelt thanks for all that you are and all that you do.

I’m trying to think of new ways to say what I've already said a thousand times before – You guys are amazing! I've had a fabulous time and recharged my batteries.
