The brainchild of the Who's Roger Daltrey CBE, the renowned gigs raise money to help the charity provide the best possible care and support for young people with cancer.
Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall raises essential funds to support the charity's work. There will be seven completely new units built between now and the end of 2009. Everything about these specialist units has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. So show your support by coming to one the gigs or by making a donation.
