A multi-prize raffle to raise funds for Solving Kids' Cancer as part of Lowri's London Marathon Fundraising. ( https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lowri-fothergill1 ) We have some truly amazing prizes, all donated by our fantastic local community. More prizes will be added leading up to the draw! Why we're doing this: Inspired by brave toddler Olivia 'Olivia Finches Fight' (please support her progress here: https://www.instagram.com/olivia_finches_fight/) and other children who are going through the same battle. Through Olivia's journey, I discovered this wonderful charity that is 'passionate about speeding up pioneering clinical research that will improve outcomes for children', who provides 'emotional, practical and financial support, impartial information on the latest treatments available and supports families to access treatments and clinical trials not currently available within the NHS. Did you know that... > 4,500 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK > Cancer is the leading cause of death in children aged between 1-14 years > Childhood cancers are different to the cancers that affect adults, and therefore, dedicated research into causes and treatments is needed > 100 Children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma each year in the UK > There is just a 40% Long-term survival rate for children diagnosed with ‘high-risk’ neuroblastoma > 40% of Children diagnosed with ‘high-risk’ neuroblastoma won't respond completely to standard treatment or will relapse after it > There is only a 5% chance of survival for children diagnosed with 'high-risk' neuroblastoma if they relapse > Only around 2% of cancer research funding in the UK* is spent on research that is fully dedicated to childhood and young adult cancer, making your donation vital in the fight against childhood cancer. > Because the NHS does not get much funding for these children, charities like these are relied upon by families to research treatments to give these children a cancer-free future. Thank you so much for any support toward our goal!
