Story

5 CHILDREN ARE STOLEN EACH WEEK DUE TO CHILDHOOD CANCER - my daughter being one of them.

When Aoife’s Bubbles contacted The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), the ICR happily decided to collaborate. ​As Aoife’s Mummy, being thrown into the world of childhood cancer, and subsequently losing Aoife to cancer so quickly, this totally devastated me.

How in this day and age, can we not easily detect cancer in a child, and then finding it’s a solid tumour cancer, how can the options be so limited?

​​It is said that 25% of children with cancer do not survive their disease for more than 10 years.

This number needs to change, and the only way to change this terrifying statistic is by researching kinder, targeted treatments. Que, my very nervous first e-mail to Nicola Shaw, the ICR’s Trusts fundraising manager.

In laymen’s terms, not a lot is known about how cancer is made up in children, children are therefore treated with adult designed drugs, which leaves devastating affects on the children they are used upon. This can cause life long and disabling problems for the children. In Aoife’s Bubbles view, survival should mean exactly that – survival with the best possible outcomes all round.
