The War on Childhood Cancer | Rosie-May Proudlove | TEDxYouth@StMarysCollege

Rosie-May wants the world to know that we are at war. A war with childhood cancer. Unfortunately, Rosie-May knows far too well the effect that this terrible disease has on children and their families. She wants everyone to know they can help in some way. Rosie-May is an Ambassador for the charity Canteen and is extremely passionate about raising awareness for childhood cancer research. She has personally felt the effects that the lack of funding for paediatric cancer can have on a family’s life. She wants to advocate for more research into childhood cancer to help those impacted by this terrible disease. Rosie-May enjoys signing and song writing, playing the piano, equestrian and hanging out with her little sister. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
