Digital Event Series

Start: 2023-10-16
Location: Digital Event Series

Demystify – humanise – connect. This new event aimed to provide a set of short programs based on a TV talk show format to make them easily accessible and highly watchable. The series introduced families who were new to having a child diagnosed with cancer to the charity and what it could do, shared positive stories of hope and progress, reached a wide range of audiences in a fresh new format by bringing together stories from families, staff, researchers and more, and engaged potential fundraisers and supporters, and much more.

All events featured different aspects of our work as well as different stories of the children. The digital series existed to serve and showcase some of the amazing ways supporters, volunteers and staff had made a difference to so many families.

Professor Bruce Morland, one of our Trustees, who explained exactly what research actually is
And Sharon, mum to Harry, who spoke passionately saying:

Research must continue. We must keep talking about the over 200 different types of cancer that children can get. We must research for kinder treatments for children and we must make health professionals aware of the concerns we have about our children.
