Sing for Your Life is the incredible journey taken by a unique choir. In this one off documentary 35 cancer patients come together to learn to sing. The choir has been set up by cancer charity Tenovus, whose doctors are researching whether the positive mental attitude that singing can give will help the patients in their fight against cancer.
Within the space of just 12 weeks, they juggle treatment sessions and rehearsals, and get help from huge stars, including Emeli Sande and Russell Watson.
Their adventure takes them all the way to the Royal Albert Hall... and the performance of their lives.
