With less then 4 weeks to go i really need all your support to ensure that i do my best for such an important charity, Children With Leukaemia.

Here is a little bit about where you money will go. 

What started as a small memorial charity is now the UK’s leading charity dedicated to the conquest of childhood leukaemia through pioneering research, new treatments and the support of leukaemic children and their families. 

Leukaemia is cancer of the blood. It’s not hereditary. You can’t catch it. Yet, alarmingly, leukaemia is the most common childhood cancer.Fifty years ago, leukaemia was a virtual death sentence.  Tremendous advances in treatment and care mean that four out of five affected children now survive.  However, alarmingly, incidence of leukaemia has also increased steadily during the past fifty years and the treatments, which include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplants, can themselves cause severe problems in the young children whose lives they save.

Thanks to the generous support of the public, many areas of research and treatment are being investigated and progressed.  Teams of researchers funded by CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA are working towards the development of more effective, less punishing treatments which will not only drive up the survival rate still further but will reduce the risk of serious side-effects.

Thank you all so much for your kind donations it really does make a difference to these children's lives.
