The below is something which means more than a football, more than results and more than success, it’s a different type of match in which we can all participate.

Be a Gooner. Be a Giver.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. With Arsenal’s help, the charity will be able to increase its support to young people who are diagnosed by building a unit within a brand new Day Care Centre for cancer patients at University College Hospital, London, due to open in 2012.

Arsenal hopes to raise £300,000 to fund an Education Zone on Teenage Cancer Trust’s unit within the centre. The zone will be a dedicated space where teenagers and young people being treated can keep up with their studies and also learn more about their cancer. It will include computers and laptops with wireless access, enabling them to contact their school, keep in touch with their friends and even join in with lessons via webcam. For patients of this age, being able to stay in touch with friends and continue with education while being treated is invaluable, improving psychological wellbeing and future choices.
