Butterfly Giving is hoping readers will take a flutter on their charity and collect Wish tokens.
Butterfly Giving was set up by Hannah Larkin, from Coulby Newham, when she was just 15.
She was inspired to set up the charity when she met George Soars - now a trustee - who was diagnosed with cancer at a young age and had to have a leg amputated.
The charity used last year’s Wish money to fund its Boobs & Boxers project aimed at dispelling myths about taboo cancers such as breast and testicular among young people.
The money helped to fund anatomically realistic models to help teenagers become better equipped to spot the signs.
Hannah said: “This year’s money will enable us to continue our Hospital Hampers project to send boxes to young people currently receiving treatment for a cancer diagnosis.
“The hampers contain favourite things and luxuries to make a stay in hospital that bit more bearable.”
To help Butterfly Giving, send your tokens to: 39 Comfrey Manor, Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, TS8 0XT.
