Organised by KidscanWe are raising money for Kidscan Children's Cancer Research who are funding research across the UK to find new treatments for children with cancer. Their aim is to create a world where every child diagnosed can survive and thrive through adulthood
In the UK, 20% of children diagnosed with cancer will not survive because treatment options are limited. Of those who do survive, 60% will go on to develop life altering disabilities that can include hearing loss, infertility, mobility issues, lung & breathing problems and even heart failure.
Know as Late-effects these disabilities occur because current treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can cause lasting damage to the healthy cells in children's growing bodies. Late effects can appear long after treatment, are progressive and can even shorten life expectancy.
By investing in research across the UK, Kidscanare dedicated to both improving survival rates and eliminating the late effects that current treatments cause.
With your help, we can create a world where every child diagnosed with cancer can survive and go on to live the long healthy lives they deserve.
