In low- and middle-income countries fewer than 1 in 10 children with cancer are diagnosed, treated or given pain relief. World Child Cancer improves cancer care for some of the world’s poorest children by creating international twinning partnerships between medics hospitals and parent support groups

Story

Wiggett Group’s Iceland Trek

On the 5th October 2024 we will be setting off on a 3 day trek across Iceland in support of World Child Cancer. With your support we will increase the number of children diagnosed with cancer in low-income countries, improve the quality of care they receive, and provide financial and emotional support for families.

💕 The Purpose

We have come together to support World Child Cancer, an incredible charity that supports children with Cancer across the world.

🏔️The Adventure

Over the course of our 3-day trek, we'll witness Iceland's raw beauty - from the ethereal Northern Lights dancing across the sky to the vibrant blue hues of its glaciers. Each step we take will symbolise the resilience of those we aim to help.

🧡Making a Difference

Over 400,000 children develop cancer each year. If the disease is detected early enough, many of these children can be cured - 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries survive. However, in low and middle income countries, survival rates can be as low as 10%, and many children die, without effective pain relief. World Child Cancer is dedicated to addressing the disparity of cancer care for children across the world. We believe that every child, no matter where they are born should have access to the best possible treatment and care.

£10 could pay for essential blood tests for three children with cancer pre-chemotherapy in Cameroon

£50 could pay for a round of life-saving chemotherapy for a child with cancer in Ghana

£114 could support transportation costs for three children to travel between home and hospital for two chemotherapy appointments in Cameroon
