About us

Every week in the UK, around two families in the UK are told their child has neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Our mission is to find a cure for neuroblastoma. We fund leading research to develop new, effective treatments for children with this disease. With your help we can save more young lives. Neuroblastoma UK (formerly The Neuroblastoma Society) was formed in October 1982 by a group of parents whose children were suffering from or had died from neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a very aggressive childhood cancer affecting children up to about the age of 14 years. Registered as a national charity 326385 with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

    Tilly was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in November 2021 and sadly passed away in September 2022 at the age of four. Tilly’s dad, Jonathan, shares her story here… “The plan was for Tilly to undergo chemo, then surgery and then a stem cell transplant. She went through about 12 rounds of chemo, but her response to the chemo was deemed inadequate, meaning the treatment had failed to have the intended effect on her tumours. This was hard to comprehend. A few extra rounds followed and these seemed to do the trick. By mid-July, she would undergo surgery. Between the end of her treatment and her surgery, we were able to take a family holiday. We agonised over whether this was the right thing to do, but the medical team made sure that we had that time together and that it would not jeopardise Tilly’s health. In hindsight, this was a special experience and an opportunity for us to be together as a family, creating memories. Tilly had a wonderful time. She was able to horse-ride and paddle in the sea. It was a truly positive experience and none of us realised what was just around the corner.” Read Tilly’s full story here: https://lnkd.in/gz_67BSk

    "I live in hope that children who are diagnosed in the future are offered better treatment options and better chances of survival, that they won’t suffer like Cara did.” After experiencing a lack of appetite, temperatures, lethargy, sickness and numerous trips to the GP, Cara was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Despite 19 months of treatment, Cara relapsed three months after completing front-line treatment. She was just three years old when she passed away in February 2020. Four years after Cara’s passing, her mummy Isobel is training for the South East Coast Ultra Challenge in memory of Cara, to raise funds for Neuroblastoma UK.

    Every child deserves a future filled with golden moments joy, whether that is learning to ride a bike, experiencing their first day at school, or enjoying sleepovers with friends. 🌟 However, cancer is stealing these precious moments away from too many children. The harsh reality is that every week in the UK, two families receive the devastating news that their child has neuroblastoma. This rare and often aggressive cancer not only claims young lives but also subjects children to gruelling treatments that can affect them well into adulthood. We believe in #AFutureTheyDeserve. To turn this belief into reality, we are dedicated to funding ground breaking research that can lead to more effective treatments. Our mission is clear: we must improve treatment options and ultimately find a cure. Together, we can give these brave children the future they deserve. 🎗️ To learn more about how you can support Neuroblastoma UK this September, from going gold to sharing our message visit: https://lnkd.in/dQccQtG3
