Doncasters have teamed up with Prevent ALL to support their charitable mission. Our first fundraising activity is entering Team Doncasters, made up of Kate Wilkinson, Helen Snelson, Anna Howard, Harry Robson and Chris Edwards into the Derby 10k on the 10th April. Please support the teams efforts and there is more info on Prevent ALL below.

At Prevent ALL our mission is to: 

1. Preventing Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in children globally, by supporting the research, development, testing and rollout of a preventative treatment.

2. Supporting children and their families undergoing treatment for Leukaemia and other blood cancers.

Tommy was diagnosed with ALL aged 4 and we found ourselves in the hospital ward you walked past at hospital that you never wanted to be in! He is now 8 months into his 3-year treatment programme, a daily mix of Chemotherapy and Steroids, regular Lumbar Punctures. The good news is that there is a treatment but the treatment is toxic. Tommy is one of the lucky ones in that he is on the lightest treatment plan. This illness also has an emotional impact on the child and the family and needs massive medical resources.

  

Facts

•       About 75% of childhood Leukaemia is ALL

•       800 children a year in the UK are diagnosed with ALL

•       3,500 children a year in the US are diagnosed with ALL

•       Rates of ALL in the west are increasing at c.1% per year

Prevention & Support

Professor Sir Mel Greaves and his team at the Institute of Cancer Research are developing a preventative treatment that could eliminate ALL in Children. We are aiming help fund that research and development so that children don’t have to go through the toxic treatment that Tommy is.

Our second goal is to help the families that are currently going through treatment, to help make their lives a little more bearable.
