We won’t let cancer stand in the way of a child’s hope for their future.
Please help give every child with cancer the chance to grow up and fulfil their dreams.
We all have dreams of the person we want to become and what we want to achieve in life. For some children, those dreams are interrupted and sometimes shattered, by a cancer diagnosis.
We’re here to ensure that whenever a child receives a cancer diagnosis, they have the best possible chance of survival, whether that’s by finding cures and better treatments through the ground-breaking research we fund, or by helping to ease some burdens along the way.
We won’t let cancer stand in the way of a child’s hope for their future. Your support this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month will help give those children whose lives are put on hold and whose futures are uncertain because of cancer, the chance to live out their dreams.
This September, get involved in our Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Campaign. Here’s just a couple of the ways you can get involved.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 15 in the UK. So whenever a child receives a cancer diagnosis, we want to make sure they have the best possible chance of survival by finding cures and better treatments through the ground-breaking research we fund. But we can’t do this alone.
We receive no government funding, and without our supporters vital research would often go unfunded. A donation from you today could help to fund visionary research and help make sure every child with cancer has the best chance of growing up.
Cancer is standing in the way of children’s futures. Together we can help change that.
Each year, we raise awareness of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the forms of events and stories. Here’s a quick summary of previous milestones and campaigns.
In previous years we’ve hosted our annual Childhood Cancer Conference throughout September. In 2019, the focus was an update on how genomic medicine is being used to deliver new therapies, reduce toxicity, enable early diagnosis and progress efforts to prevent cancer in children, teenagers and young adults. Read about our 2019 Conference here.
Our 2018 conference brought together leading research scientists from across the world to discuss advances in Precision Medicine, and how it can be used to treat children and young people with cancer. Read about our 2018 Conference here.
In 2017, for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month we celebrated the positive impact of research in childhood and young person’s cancer by asking families to share their ‘Golden Moments’ from their child’s cancer journey. These moments are memories that will never be lost and show that even in difficult circumstances hope is a force for good.
