We're celebrating the amazing women leading and contributing to medical research to help sick babies and children.

We’re pleased to announce six new studies soon to start – an investment of almost £1.2 million in top-quality research to help sick babies and children. These include research to diagnose and treat life-threatening infections, to help children with epilepsy and autism, and to prevent brain injury in babies born prematurely.

Together, with charity partner LifeArc, we’re funding nearly £1m of urgently-needed new research to help children affected by rare diseases. This work will give hope to children and families facing some of the toughest fights. 

Managing Director of Lifeplus, Malcolm Vincent, shares his family's experience of premature birth, his love for cycling and why he’s returning to the Champions of CycleSport Dinner.
