Every day 12 families in the UK receive the devastating news that their child has cancer. Through funding vital specialist research, Children with Cancer UK has done everything in its power to give these children the best chance to survive. 

On January 12th 2018 my family was one of the 12 families recieving the worst possible news. We were told that our 18-month old son, Eric, had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Since then, Eric has and continues to battle through intense chemotherapy regimes and thankfully is in a much better place now. However, the treatment regime that Eric followed was funded by Children with Cancer UK.

With your support Children with Cancer UK can fund over 60 research projects across the UK accelerating breakthroughs to help drive up childhood cancer survival rates and find kinder, more effective treatments to reduce long-term side effects. This ground breaking research saves children's lives and would otherwise go unfunded. 

Knowing treatment can be especially challenging for family life, Children with Cancer UK also helps fund patient family accommodation near hospitals so families can stay together during their children's treatment. We also organise unforgettable days out for children and their families to create memories that will never be lost. 

But we still have so much more to do. A single child dying from cancer is one too many. With your support, we are helping to create a future in which every child with cancer survives and experiences the life changing moment when they ring the end of treatment bell.

Thank you for helping to save the lives of children with cancer and keep families together.
