The 3 Steps

Getting access to Chat-World is done in 3 easy steps.

Step 1: Fill out the application request form on the next page, providing some basic details for both us at The Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust as well as information required by Second Life.

At this step you will also use your Chat-Code given to you by the hospital. If your hospital is currently not involved, please let us know by getting in touch.

Step 2: We will then set up your account with Second Life, using the information that you provided us. As well as linking that account to Chat-World.

Step 3: At this stage you will receive a welcome email form us. This will verify your account details, username and password etc. as well as how to connect to Second Life and visit Chat-World.
