Alice's Arc is a children’s cancer charity dedicated to funding research into finding a cure and better treatments for Rhabdomyosarcoma.

The Arcs platform has been created to honour children and young people's experiences with rhabdomyosarcoma. The stories of children and young people currently fighting the disease, who have survived the disease and those who have died as a result of the disease can be told. The Arcs enable families to come together to pool funds for research, to advocate for change and to provide a family support network. Together we are stronger and can achieve so much more.

One of our colleagues, from Leodis Wealth, is actively involved with the charity and her daughter has her own arc www.alicesarc.org/arc/elsa-mcgee/

Elsa, aged 6, was diagnosed in April 2016, with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in her right nostril. The cancer returned in October 2018 with a large tumour found growing in her right jaw bone. In March 2020, a second relapse was discovered with tumours growing on her liver and stomach. With no further treatment available, Elsa passed away 14th April 2020. Elsa’s family have been great supporters of Alice’s Arc throughout her journey.

Please consider donating or fundraising to help fund vital clinical research into childhood cancers like rhabdomyosarcoma.
