About Engraving

Names and Dreams Engraving Activity

The Names and Dreams Engraving Activity is an integral part of our charitable purpose, advancing education and supporting those living with cancer in the following ways:

• Educational impact: The activity encourages participants to articulate their dreams, promoting self-reflection and goal-setting skills. This process is educational, teaching young people to envision and plan for their futures despite health challenges.
• Emotional support: By permanently engraving names and dreams, we create a tangible symbol of hope and perseverance, which is crucial for emotional well-being when dealing with serious health conditions.
• Community building: The collective display of names and dreams creates a sense of community among participants, reducing feelings of isolation often experienced by young people with cancer.
• Awareness and advocacy: The public display of these engravings educates the wider community about the experiences and aspirations of young people with cancer, promoting understanding and support.

Research studies have shown the psychological benefits of goal-setting for cancer patients. Links to studies: [1] [2]
