LONDON, -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Topman has teamed up with Teenage Cancer Trust to produce a series of four vibrant t-shirts to raise money for the charity. The high street retailer has been officially supporting Teenage Cancer Trust since 2010.

The t-shirt range has been created by the Topman in house design team and is a cool credible graphic led collection of repeat all over prints and pocket graphics with each t-shirt design being inspired by music and musical instruments.

The limited edition t-shirts are available in stores nationwide and online at topman.com and are priced at £18 with £5 from each sale going directly to the charity.

Simon Davies, Teenage Cancer Trust’s CEO said: "Everyone at Teenage Cancer Trust is thrilled to be working with Topman to raise awareness and vital funds for young people with cancer. Topman came on board as supporters for three years in 2010 and we know the difference they can make will be huge. We are all very pleased that Topman employees are excited about fundraising in stores nationwide for Teenage Cancer Trust and I know the team here are equally keen to support everyone and make this partnership a huge success."

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for the six young people aged between 13 and 24 diagnosed with cancer every day. They build specialist units within NHS hospitals bringing young people together to be treated by teenage cancer experts in a place designed just for them. The charity wants every young person with cancer to have access to this specialist support, no matter where they live.

Traditionally treated alongside children or elderly patients at the end of their lives, young people can feel extremely isolated during treatment, some never meeting another young person with cancer. Being treated alongside others their own age can make a huge difference to their whole experience. Since the start of the partnership with Topman, the charity have opened a further five units, bringing their total to 22.
