EP 91 - Sophie Epstone: "Reach out and see what happens"
Our guest this week is Sophie Epstone, Founder of Trekstock, the only UK charity that specifically focuses on supporting young adults through cancer.Sophie became aware of a huge gap in tailored support services for cancer patients in their 20s or 30s after a family friend had treatment for lymphoma and found himself in hospital surrounded by people much older than him whose needs were the opposite to his. There was no age-appropriate support available and Sophie wanted to do something about it, and so Trekstock was born.Check out Sophie Epstone's recommendations:Adam Buxton PodcastDesert Island Discs"This Much is True" by Miriam MargolyesBWB is powered by Oury Clark
