Little Star Awards

Do you know a Little Star?

Little Star AwardCancer Research UK's Little Star Awards, in partnership with TK Maxx, celebrate the courage of children who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Parents, friends and relatives from across the UK can put forward the name of a Little Star for special recognition.

All nominees will receive a Little Star trophy, a T-shirt and bear, and a certificate signed by celebrities including David Tennant, Leona Lewis, Cesc Fabregas and George Sampson. The first 200 children nominated will also receive a £100 voucher for TK Maxx.

All nominees must be aged under 17 on 28 February 2009 and have received cancer treatment within the last five years of the closing date - ie since 28 February 2004.

You can nominate a Little Star by using the secure online nomination form or by filling in the hard copy of the form and posting it to us.

There is also a poster you can download and put on the wall, or give to family, friends or colleagues who might be interested in nominating a Little Star.

By sharing your experience of cancer with others, you can also help us raise awareness about our life-saving work.
