“The Joshua Tree has been fundamental in trying to get some normality back in life. They just get it. The support centre is such a safe environment for the children that some of your worries actually melt away while you are there.”

William, who’s son was diagnosed with Philadelphia Positive T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in March 2024

“I lost my best friend, my playmate, my school bus buddy —my only sister, The Joshua Tree helped me through therapy, allowing me to talk about my worries, fears, and doubts. Most importantly, they’ve shown me I’m not alone.”

Elliot, who was just 8 years old when he lost his little sister, who was only six, to Burkitt’s Lymphoma

“Things don’t necessarily get easier over time; instead, you learn to engage with the support around you and live with cancer in a way that works for your child and family. The Joshua Tree is a vital part of our support system.”

“Since starting bootcamp with Adam in January, it’s completely changed my outlook on exercise- I actually enjoy it now, I’ve even joined the gym and it’s a big part of my week. I’m feeling so much fitter and it’s inspiring to see everyone getting stronger each week. It’s a great way for the parents to bond with each other and to relieve their worries with a personal achievement that makes us feel stronger in our minds and our bodies.”
