Beneficiary - 2008 Beneficiary - CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA
Leukaemia is cancer of the blood. The causes are not yet fully known, and a cure is by no means certain. It's not hereditary. You can't catch it. Yet it kills more of our children than any other disease, and incidence is increasing. Despite huge medical advances, leukaemia remains the most devastating childhood disease in the UK!
Fifty years ago a diagnosis of leukaemia was almost certainly a death sentence for a child. But breakthroughs in treatment mean that more than 70 per cent of children diagnosed with leukaemia now survive
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA is the UKs leading charity dedicated exclusively to the conquest of childhood leukaemia through research into the causes of the disease, improving treatments for sufferers and the welfare of leukaemic children and their families. Charity No. 298405
