We raise awareness - Children with Cancer

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.
