"I have been patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust @teenage_cancer for over 30 years and I am thrilled to be launching their vital Christmas appeal with the support of @hellomag," Sarah wrote. "Without the work of this charity too many young people will have to face cancer alone. At a special event in London this month, I and my daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, honorary patrons of the trust, met young cancer patients and family members supported by its specialist units.
