September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

We all want children to be running and skipping through grass and getting scabby knees from laughing and playing in the playground.  But sadly for some this can be a wistful dream, as much of their childhood can be spent within a hospital.
Every day more than ten children in the UK are diagnosed with cancer.  Fortunately only a small proportion of kidney cancer’s occur in children, however, for the families affected this is no consolation.  About 40 children each year, in the UK, develop a Wilms’ tumour, which most often affects children under the age of five.

In support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are going to help raise the awareness of childhood kidney cancers and the impact it can have on entire families.
We can help families of children with kidney cancer by awarding our patient support grants; these help families to cope with the unexpected costs arising from a diagnosis.  With your support we can aim to help even more families by removing some of their unexpected financial burden.
