PRESS RELEASE

KitSound is proud to announce that it is now actively supporting and working with Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens to help fund cures and kinder treatments for young people facing cancer. 

In order to raise awareness and funds, KitSound has created a range of special products for Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens that will give £1 from each sale directly to the charity. These products include the Malibu headphones, and the Boombar Bluetooth speaker.

As part of the partnership, KitSound worked with 16 year old cancer survivor Elliot to create a ‘Bravery Playlist’.  It includes some of his favourite tracks, as well as those that inspired him to continue being brave whilst undergoing his treatment.  Elliot was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September 2013, and took part in a Cancer Research UK funded trial which investigated a kinder treatment regime for children and young people. Elliot’s story, as well as what inspiring tunes he chose, can be found on any Malibu headphones or Boombar speaker packaging. 

Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens launched in January 2015 with the aim of raising money for research specifically into cancers affecting children, teens and young adults.  It aims to double the amount spent on children’s cancer research over the next 5 to 10 years, to accelerate progress and find cures and kinder treatments. All of us here at KitSound are proud to support them with our special products. RRPs start from £10.00

The special Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens products are available in many high street and online retailers.
