Thank you for choosing to donate to one of our appeals. Whether you give to a specific appeal, or make a general donation, your gift will help fund groundbreaking research across the UK.
Research that could unlock answers for new treatments, cures and medical breakthroughs. Breakthrough's that really can save and change the lives of sick and vulnerable children.
Fighting rare diseases
In the UK, there are thousands of children living with a rare and life-limiting disease for which there is no cure.
Children like Danny who has the rare disease, Hunter syndrome. Danny’s family are painfully aware that time with their youngest son will be cruelly cut short by this disease.
“We will lose our beautiful boy to Hunter syndrome,” says mum Sally. “But any new hope is worth fighting for. So that families in the future don’t have to feel that the bottom is dropping out of their world.”
Help fund vital research – together we can bring hope to families fighting rare and incurable diseases.
