‘Young Me vs the Big C’ Podcast Relaunches on Spotify, Amazon and Apple Podcasts’
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust has relaunched its podcast, Young Me vs the Big C, now available on Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts. This exciting step makes the podcast more accessible than ever, allowing young listeners to tune in from home, download episodes for hospital visits, or listen on the move with their families.
The podcast was created to offer a safe and stigma-free digital space for children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer, helping them feel less isolated and more connected to others with shared experiences. The first episode features 14-year-old Ewan, who completed treatment for Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia, offering a powerful and honest account of his journey.
Two episodes are already live, with five more scheduled for release, one each week over the next five weeks. They share a variety of perspectives from young people who’ve experienced cancer themselves, as well as siblings and parents who all speak with warmth and courage. Each episode offers listeners a chance to hear stories that reflect the challenges and strength found in the face of childhood cancer.
Dr Jen Kelly, CEO of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, said:
“Being diagnosed with cancer is an incredibly isolating time for any child or young person. Young Me vs the Big C is one of the ways we’re helping them find connection, reassurance and a sense of community during a difficult journey.”
Now streaming on Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts, the podcast is set to grow in both reach and impact. Future episodes will explore a range of topics, including coping with diagnosis, returning to school, mental health and friendships. Listeners will also hear from parents, siblings, teachers, healthcare professionals and others whose lives have been touched by childhood cancer.
There are exciting plans ahead, with themed episodes, guest speakers and opportunities for young people to take part in conversations that matter to them. The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust hopes the podcast will continue to spark important discussions and celebrate the resilience of young people facing extraordinary challenges.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust welcomes anyone interested in sharing their story or getting involved. By contributing, young people can help others feel seen and supported, while being part of something uplifting and empowering.
