Event two: Research – premieres 20 November at 7pm
In this event we look at one of the core activities supported by funds Children with Cancer UK raises, again with the aim of demystifying the subject and making it accessible. In the programme we will explore:
- How Children with Cancer UK supports research
- Why it is so important
- We will start to put it into layman’s terms
- Meet some of those who have direct experience of the real difference research into childhood cancer treatments can make
For this event we meet:
- Ellen, who is a young cancer survivor with a powerful and unique story to tell
- Christiana, Head of Research at Children with Cancer UK, who will explain a little of how Children with Cancer UK works with researchers and how it decides where the grants are placed
- Professor Bruce Morland one of our Trustees who explains exactly what research actually is
- And Sharon, mum to Harry, who speaks 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.
