Help Save Children with Neuroblastoma

Closed 3,599 signatures

What the petition asks

Children with Neuroblastoma face many months of intense treatment but the chances of relapse are high. There is treatment in the USA that reduces this risk but that has to be funded privately.
The amount of money that is needed to pay for this runs in to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
There have been a number of recent cases in the media where families of children with this cancer were trying to raise £550,000 to get this treatment in America. If the treatment is available to reduce the risk we should be providing that treatment here in the UK.
