Stories of families we have helped
families we have helped

At Sebastian's Action Trust we are committed to helping people as individuals and, where appropriate, as family units. Since 2004 we have sought to give our supporters the stories associated with the many youngsters we have come to know and love, in the knowledge that it helps to explain how we use some of the money you so generously give to help those in need.

All of these youngsters are amazing-their courage, resilience and determination is inspirational and we are proud to have been of service.

Marcie’s story
Having previously battled with and beaten bone cancer, Marcie Loader battled against leukaemia, which was brought on as a side effect of initial treatment.
