My Thyroid and Me: A Young Person’s Cancer Story has been shortlisted for a Smiley Charity Film Award.
This project began with a clear aim from Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust. Young people with thyroid cancer often have very little information that feels clear, honest and reassuring at a time when they need it most. The Trust asked us to help change that.
Molly, who was fifteen during treatment, shared her story with remarkable courage. Her illustrations became the heart of the film and helped us explain complex medical ideas in a way that young viewers and their families could follow without feeling overwhelmed.
Since release, the film has been warmly received by patients, parents and clinicians. It has also been presented at the World Thyroid Cancer Conference, where more than one hundred specialists adopted it as both a patient resource and a training tool.
If you would like to support the film, you can cast a vote via the link in our bio.
Thank you to Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust, to Molly and her family, and to everyone involved.
