We published our first Research Impact Report this year to celebrate CCLG's progress towards finding a cure for children's cancer. As readers of Contact magazine, we are delighted to share extracts from this report in this 4-page supplement for Contact readers.
Every child with cancer deserves a future, no matter how rare their cancer is. For 45 years, we have been at the forefront of children’s cancer. We are leaders and experts in this specialist field and have a unique position as both a research funder and professional voice. Our research drives innovation, inspires change and delivers results for all children with cancer. We are proud of everything we have achieved in this time, and we invite you to join us as we celebrate CCLG’s role in children’s cancer research today.
Angela Polanco Mum of Bethany, who raises funds for Wilms' tumour research through Bethany’s Wish, a CCLG Special Named Fund said:
My daughter Bethany was diagnosed 14 years ago. I’d like to think if she was diagnosed today, things would look a lot different. She would be able to have her tumour DNA sequenced, have access to clinical trials, and have kinder treatment that would allow her to have a child of her own one day. This is thanks to the dedicated professionals who make sure that research happens for children with cancer. Together, we can do anything. If we work together, we can make sure that children can survive cancer for longer.
