We raise awareness
We’re working to get childhood cancer the attention it needs
There are many reasons why childhood cancer isn’t the same as adult cancer. Through our initiatives and campaigns we have helped the public and the scientific community understand childhood cancer better.
Knowledge is power, and together we can improve outcomes for the thousands of children and young people that receive a cancer diagnosis every year.
Awareness days and months
Brain Tumour Awareness Month
Brain tumours claim more lives than any other childhood cancer, and we think they need more attention than ever.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Taking place in September every year, find our how we can make an impact during this month.
World Cancer Day
Childhood cancer is a global issue, and we aim to bring our stories to global attention.
Sharing the news
We provide further support and comfort to families with blogs and news stories; researchers explain their how they’re helping, parents share their advice and journalists publish our biggest stories.
Childhood Cancer Stories
Children with cancer have harsh treatments and side-effects later in life that are often unknown to the general public. By sharing stories, we also hope to raise awareness and reduce delays in diagnosis.
Research Stories
Researchers raise awareness of the projects they are working on by writing about what they’re doing and why it’s needed.
Media Stories
We work with journalists to get stories about childhood cancer national and international coverage in the news.
