Goal

Our goal is to raise awareness of childhood cancer, fund support services and advocate for children with cancer and their families.

 

SUPPORT

The supports and services that we fund include:


1. A full-time Play Specialist on St John’s Oncology Day Ward in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin

 

2. Beads of Courage®, the internationally recognised arts in medicine programme for children with cancer and their siblings on St John's Ward

 

3. Shared Care Hospital Project, improving facilities for children hospitalised in Ireland's 16 Shared Care regional hospitals for their cancer related care

Awareness

Our Light It Up Gold Campaign takes part in September as part of International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We also organise and support awareness and fundraising events throughout the year and promote the gold ribbon as the internationally recognised symbol of childhood cancer. 

 

Advocacy

We are a voice for children and families affected by childhood cancer.We campaign for continued investment in research, the development of child specific cancer drugs and better treatment and outcomes for all children with cancer.

Childhood Cancer Foundation

Childhood Cancer Foundation is Ireland’s national independent body for Childhood Cancer. Our role is to raise awareness among the Irish public about issues surrounding childhood cancer, to advocate for improved services for children affected by childhood cancer and to help fund vital supports for parents and children around the country who are affected by this disease.   

 

 

 



 

WE NEED YOU!

Registration for the 2019 VHI Women's Mini Marathon opens on Thursday, 28th February. The event takes place on Sunday, 2nd June. This year we want to recruit 300 ladies to take part in the event for Childhood Cancer Foundation, to represent the 1 in 300 children in Ireland who will be diagnosed with cancer before their 19th birthday. It's a really enjoyable day out for a great cause so why not get a team together and make a day of it. Whether you'd like to run, jog or walk we'd love to hear from you! Register at: www.vhiwomensminimarathon.ie and email: info@childhoodcancer.ie to order your race pack.
