Lucy needs our help

“If a child you love is diagnosed with cancer, you’ll need the research that is happening now.”  – Sarah, Lucy’s mum.

We need yours

Every year over 1000 children are diagnosed with cancer. Children like Lucy, who was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, an aggressive and rare tumour at just three years old.

Doctors gave her a 30% chance of survival. Our cutting-edge research was able to identify several genes that were driving Lucy's cancer. For one of these, we were also able to identify a drug that has the potential to prevent her from relapsing. It was something not normally considered for her cancer. Lucy started kindergarten this year. If she relapses, that treatment may be life-saving.

Children like Lucy need us. We need you.

$30
Will help us analyse the data from the genome of a child like Lucy, giving vital insights to clinicians faster, that they can use to guide treatment decisions
$50
Will help us store critical genetic data for children like Lucy, allowing us to do further research into what may be driving aggressive childhood cancers
$75
Will help us to sequence the RNA from a child's tumour, potentially showing us the genetic variants that are driving cancer growth in that child's cells.

Harnessing the latest technology in childhood cancer research

Modern technology is giving us extraordinary insights into the mechanisms causing childhood cancer and allowing us to begin to answer many important questions about the causes and drivers. This means we can develop new, novel targeted treatments for children with cancer. And we’re sharing this data and collaborating globally so we can accelerate better outcomes for all children with cancer, sooner.
