Our mission is that all children with all types of Neuroblastoma survive and lead a long, healthy life, free from the side effects of their treatment. Our focus is raising awareness and fundraising for the research needed to make treatments more targeted.
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive childhood cancera disease where abnormal cells split without control and spread to other nearby body tissue and/or organs and survival rates for the aggressive types are around 50%. Children diagnosed with neuroblastoma are on average just 2 years old.
Currently, a third of those who do survive, have long term effects from their actual treatments, as the treatments themselves are so toxic and extensive.
We urgently need better, safer and kinder treatments for children diagnosed with neuroblastoma and the only way to achieve this is through supporting the very best research.
Our three main objectives:
1. To raise awareness of neuroblastoma childhood cancer and increase the understanding and the need to support research in this area
2. To raise vital funds for outstanding cancer research into the development of better, safer treatments for children diagnosed with neuroblastoma now and in the future
3. To provide information and support to those affected by neuroblastoma.
