About MCA Trust
Children With Cancer Charity – MCA Trust. Supporting local children through their cancer treatment journey with breaks, vital equipment, and compassionate care every step of the way.
In Memory of Michael
Michael 'Micky' Charles Adams, MBE
Michael Charles Adams MBE Memorial Trust
Childhood cancer charity Essex. The trust was established in 2011 in memory of Michael Charles Adams, MBE. Michael spent much of his life supporting children's charities and was honoured to receive an MBE in 2006 for his work on youth initiatives in his beloved local community.
Sadly, in 2010, he lost a short battle with a brain tumour. The MCA Trust is a fitting legacy that has already made a difference to more than 15 families' individual cancer journeys, alongside projects to benefit all users of children's cancer wards at numerous hospitals.
