Despite intensive courses of chemotherapy and often initial success in treating the disease, it often relapses, making this one of the most lethal of all childhood cancers. There are several research programmes currently underway in the UK and the main objective of the society is to raise funds for British medical research into improving the treatment for children with neuroblastoma and finding an eventual cure. We receive no government funding and our members, their family and friends, fund all our research programmes. In addition the society provides much needed support and help to families with a child suffering from the disease. We are not one of the large, well known cancer charities, but we are concerned with one of the worst childhood cancers.
Research is an expensive business and funds are always needed.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
