Barry and Jon Fratelli from The Fratellis have returned to their home city of Glasgow to launch an appeal to raise £350,000 for The Teenage Cancer Trust. The money will be used to build a new unit for teenage cancer patients aged 13-16 in The Royal Hospital For Sick Children in the city's Yorkhill area.
Bassist Barry said: "It's such fantastic news that a second Teenage Cancer Trust unit is planned for Glasgow, but we really need to see the money start rolling in. The charity needs £350,000 to go ahead with their plans, all of which they have to raise in Scotland. We've seen first hand the difference that a Teenage Cancer Trust unit makes to the lives of teenagers and young people - the facilities on offer are amazing. Every young person with cancer in Scotland should have access to a unit, so I, and the rest of the band, would like to ask everyone to put their hands in their pockets and get involved. Every penny counts".
