Make a Wish are a wonderful organization. I just made a little donation in Sam's honour. My condolences for your loss.

My first boyfriend had non hodgkin's lymphoma, and the work that The Teenage Cancer Trust does is just fabulous. What helped him most was being moved to one of their funded centre's whilst he was in treatment. Before that, the hospital didn't know what to do with him, he was on the kid's ward with 4 year olds or on a normal ward where the average age is about 60. When he was moved he had friends his own age, who we hung out with, played computer games with, could talk to etc. Most importantly, he could speak about his worries that he'd be left infertile and so on. No other 17 year old thinks about that, at that ward he found people who he could relate with.
