Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma that originates in the muscles. Currently, four out of ten children diagnosed with this aggressive cancer do not survive their disease for more than ten years. 

Our Rhabdomyosarcoma Research Fund will support pioneering research into this childhood cancer. 

When you make a donation or raise funds for the Rhabdomyosarcoma Research Fund, 100% of your donation supports research into rhabdomyosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcoma of childhood.

What research will be funded?

Our Research Funds are part of our exciting plans to fund and support pioneering research into cancers affecting children, teenagers and young adults.We fund projects in the UK that will:

- Broaden and deepend knowledge of how childhood cancer starts and grows

- Help transfer research progress seen in the lab straight to a clinical setting to that new treatments can reach patients more quickly

- Improve treatment or patient care throughout the cancer journey to lessen the physical and emotional impact on patients and families
