BIG THANKS to everyone who came to the launch - it was a great morning!  If you didn't make it, you might have seen us on Newsround - check out the story.

The day started with a balloon release by the Thames, with Delta Goodrem, Laura Michelle Kelly, Mark Rhodes and Sam Nixon.  There were 180 balloons - to represent the number of young people diagnosed with cancer in a month.  Inside there were entertainers, including stilt walkers and a juggler, laptops so that people could check out the website, and animations from the site projected onto a big screen.  Everyone came back inside for speeches - special thanks to Robert & Ellie, who shared some of their experiences as teenagers with cancer.  And then off to the London Eye as an extra thank you for all the teenagers.

Check out the links in the left hand menu for more info and pictures.

As well as the website, we also launched the TIC 'dare 2 share' wristbands, as modelled by all the people who came to the launch! Find out more.
