We are delighted to announce that we've been chosen as a ‘preferred’ partner of The Teenage Cancer Trust ‘Blue Day’ – Friday 14th October .
The Teenage Cancer Trust are running a themed ‘Blue Day’ in certain areas of the country to raise the awareness of the charity and support its fundraising activity.
thebestof was introduced to the charity via thebestof team in Guildford (Paul,Sally and Jennifer) who have been generating some great awareness and brand synergy in their local area. Through this contact, came this partnership and an invaluable opportunity to support them and the great work they do at the national & local level.
You can support the event by visiting the official facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/#!/TeenageCancerTrust and following on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/TeenageCancer .
The Teenage Cancer Trust says this about their work: "We don’t believe that teenagers should have to stop being teenagers, just because they have cancer. So we fund and build specialist units for young people in NHS hospitals. Our units bring teenagers with cancer together with loads of new friends of their own age so they can support each other.
Alongside all of this is a medical team of teenage cancer specialists who pool knowledge to create a body of expertise that’s second to none. They’re backed up by our Nurse Consultants who provide clinical care, develop research, deliver professional education and ensure that standards remain as high as possible.
Teenage Cancer Trust units aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. We want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance."

We are very excited about 'Blue Day' and hope that all our Members will get on board with supporting such a worthwhile charity!
