Neuroblastoma
Children at high-risk may need extremely intensive treatment that can last for years. Despite enduring this gruelling treatment, for almost half of these children the treatment fails and the cancer comes back. Tragically many of these children go on to lose their lives at a young age.
We have promised to fund a potentially ground-breaking research project to develop a new treatment for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. The treatment could have fewer side-effects and provide lifelong protection against the disease – but we need your help.

Brave Felix's story
Felix was just four years old when he was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma. He battled for two years, but the gruelling treatment he endured took its toll on his immune system. Aged just six years old, Felix sadly passed away.
Felix’s parents have kindly shared their story to help others like Felix in the future.
Big Breakthroughs
We have played a significant role in many medical breakthroughs, starting with the development of the first UK polio vaccine.
