Dolan said: “I know first-hand just how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be – not only for yourself but also for those who love you the most. During my treatment I became particularly concerned for my two children who had to learn how to live alongside a parent who has cancer.
“It’s with this in mind that I have started the ‘Cook off for Cancer’ campaign. Cancer is a cruel disease but especially for children.

Based across the UK, Young Lives vs Cancer is the leading national charity for children and young people living with cancer and their families.
