Until every family hears good news
Until every family hears good news
Around 4,200 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK*. That’s around 10 children and young people diagnosed with cancer every day. Each year, we invest millions into specialist research projects that are investigating a broad range of childhood cancers, helping us to better understand these diseases and to find more effective, less toxic ways of treating them.
We fund projects that we believe will have the most impact in the field and the results speak for themselves.
The discoveries made through our research are being used by the NHS and healthcare providers around the globe, helping thousands of children with cancer.
