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 and kinder 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.
