WE WILL BEAT CHILDHOODCANCER SOONER

Anna was only four when she was diagnosed

with osteosarcoma. She bravely underwent

months of chemotherapy with painful

side-effects including sickness, hearing loss

and hair loss.

As part of her treatment she had surgery

which left her in a hip cast for 15 months, and

five years on she still occasionally needs to

use a wheelchair. She has had to spend lots

of time away from her family and friends and

wasn’t able to go to school.

Cancer has a huge impact on young

people and the ones they love. With your

help we can find cures and kinder treatments.

“Anna never stopped smiling and her positivity and bravery helped carry us through such a difficult time.”Anna’s mum Mette

Anna’s STORY

cruk.org/kidsandteens | Share your fundraising success CRUKKidsandTeens @CRUK_Kids

More children are surviving cancer than ever before.In fact, for children under 15 in the UK,

survival has doubled since the 1970s.

That means at least 15,000 more

children have survived for over 10 years

–all because of research funded by

people like you.

But cancer is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 25.It takes the lives of around 550 children,

teenagers and young adults each year

in the UK. For young people that survive,

treatments can be harsh and side-effects

can have a devastating effect, some of

which can last for the rest of their lives.

We must do more.Our ambition is to double the

amount we spend on childhood

cancer research over the next

5 to 10 years, to accelerate progress

and find new cures and kinder treatments.

Let’s beat childhood cancers sooner

We’re incredibly

grateful to amazing supporters

like you for joining us in helping

save more children’s lives.

This pack has all the tips and advice

you need to make your fundraising

a success. If you’d like any more

Buys a pipette, an essential item to

make our paediatric scientists’ experiments

accurate, giving the precise results needed

to accelerate breakthroughs in the lab,

and save the lives of more children.

Covers the costs of the work of our Children’s Clinical Trials Team for one day.

better and kinder treatments for the brave children,

more families together.

many parents and families

through very difficult times.

What your money could buy

Buys a special chemical measuring tool that lets scientists find out the size of DNA

molecules. These tools are being used by

Professor Steven Clifford and his team in

Newcastle, as they analyse the genetic

signatures of children’s brain tumours and

use them to predict the best treatments.

£100

Buys special ‘chemical scissors’ that chop up reams of DNA in a

cancer cell, helping our scientists

to decode their hidden genetic

secrets. Scissors like these helped

our researchers find the genes

involved in Fanconi Anaemia – an

inherited syndrome that can increase

a child’s risk of developing leukaemia.

MARY CRUK Fundraiser

Mary’s great-nephew William was just a few months

old when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic

leukaemia. After meeting other brave children

undergoing treatment whilst William was in hospital

she decided she wanted to do whatever she could

to help them.

Over the last 5 years Mary has raised money for

research, and helped increase awareness of cancer in

her local community. Organising fashion shows, table

top sales, and even rallying local businesses to donate

prizes for raffles, she has so far raised over £40,000

for childhood cancer research.

William is now happily in remission and enjoying

making lots of friends in his first year of school.

“I’ve seen the progress made in the treatment of cancer in recent years and firmly believe the answer to beating cancer lies in groundbreaking research.”
