Stacy Young

Stacy lost her brother to skin cancer, started the Shades charity to protect school children from Malignant Melanoma, won the BT Chairman's new volunteer's award, is tireless in her pursuit of a cure, having learnt to master the media to continually raise funds to purchase large shades to protect the vulnerable from this fast moving cancer. Stacy has also conquered her public speaking fears to educate children and parents at schools, on the dangers, signs & proactive actions that can be taken to avoid the cancer that attacks younger people. Stacy has raised more than £20,000 involved the local councils in joint funding and has established a programme that gives schools the opportunity to receive brand new shaded areas. Stacy dedicates every minute of her non-work time to the cause, showing many of us how to use motivation to knock down barriers and make a difference to other people's lives
