Help Connect And Support The Children’s Leukaemia Foundation
The CHILDREN’S LEUKAEMIA FOUNDATION was founded with the aim of supporting the welfare of teenagers and children with Leukaemia and helping fund research in finding a cure.
The group assisted with the funding of tele medicine link between Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin and St Jude's hospital Memphis Tennessee. This centre is recognized as one of the top children's cancer treatment centres in the world and offers further scope to increase the success rate in treating children's cancer in Ireland.
As part of improving processes the group has just set up a new Facebook page and hope that it will be an open forum and encourage dialogue. The charity is run on a completely voluntary basis with no state funding.Explore more on these topics:
