Alice’s Arc was inspired by the ongoing cancer journey of Alice, diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma at 3 years old, when a lump appeared on her neck. She was treated under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital and Jacksonville, Florida’s Proton Institute. Treatment involved almost two years of in-patient chemotherapy, out-patient chemotherapy and proton radiation in the USA. Alice’s parents became aware of the lack of funding in to research for childhood cancers and created Alice’s Arc to help find a cure. Alice's cancer returned in early 2018.
