Little Star Awards

Thomas McManamanDo you know a little star?

Cancer Research UK has launched its Little Star Awards for 2011-12, in partnership with TK Maxx, to 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 who is dear to them for special recognition.

All nominees will receive a Little Star trophy, a t-shirt and bear, and a certificate signed by celebrities.

If you know a child aged under 18 who you want to nominate, you can use the online nomination form or print and complete a hard copy of the form and post it to us. Every child nominated will receive an award, as long as they are eligible.
