Ariana Smiles is a Special Named Fund at CCLG, raising funds for research into precision oncology medicine for leukaemia.

Story

I'm raising funds for Ariana Smiles. In 2020, our darling girl was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and we threw everything we had into keeping her alive. We were fortunate - after almost 3 years of treatment, Ariana appears to have been fully cured and is now back living a normal life.

During treatment, there are innumerable unexpected twists and turns. Treatment seldom goes exactly to plan, and families rely on research, support, and fundraising in order to get through. The medications are harsh on young bodies, and we watched our child go through physical and mental changes that we will remember forever.

We're aiming to raise £100k, ultimately, to help fund a study into kinder treatments for paediatric cancer. It's a woefully underfunded area; thank you for considering helping us in our quest.
