FOREIGN MEDICINES

Foreign medicines have always been the key medical expense for Gift of Life, acquiring over 70% of our funds. Erwinase, Atriance and Adcetris are just a few cancer-killing drugs being purchased for our patients every year.

FACTS AND FIGURES

Statistically Leukaemia, the most common type of child cancer, represents 33% of all cases. At certain point, its most aggressive form – acute lymphoblastic leukaemia – can only be treated with Erwinase.

GET INVOLVED

Whether you volunteer at our events, raise funds through sports challenges or charity bake-offs, take part in Gift of Life charity raffle, there are plenty of ways you can help and make the real difference.

LET’S CELEBRATE WORLD PHOTO DAY tomorrow, 19 August.
At Gift of Life we appreciate the power of photography to tell a story, inspire positive impact in communities and act as a tested method of rehabilitation. Our former patient Rita Khairullina, whom you helped with Erwinase in 2013, joined the charity photo project “We live on this Earth” to rediscover her confidence once her battle with cancer was a matter of the past.
Today we rely on Rita and other volunteer photographers to capture stunning moments of charity initiatives like The World Winners’ Games, concerts, workshops and many others.
Thanks for telling this wonderful story with us! 😁 ... See MoreSee Less
