SEBASTIAN’S ACTION TRUST www.sebastiansactiontrust.org Sebastian’s Action Trust has created the UK’s only purpose-built facility that offers respite holidays to very sick children and their families, enabling precious time to be spent together. About Sebastian: In June 2001, at the age of 7, Sebastian Gates was diagnosed with a Wilms’ tumour - a rare form of childhood cancer. Over the next two-and-a-half years he endured many operations, a stemcell transplant, scores of chemotherapy courses and radiotherapy. Sadly, Sebastian died on Christmas Eve 2003. Throughout his illness, Sebastian showed remarkable courage and a maturity that belied his nine years. Sebastian’s approach to his cancer was always positive and a source of inspiration to all who met him. Instead of focusing on himself, Sebastian sought opportunities to help others through their individual battles with illness and disease.
