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.

Seryozha Sergeev, 17-year-old cancer survivor, tells a story of beating his dreadful illness.
He first fell ill 11 years ago when a charity work of Podari Zhizn just started in Russia. At that time the boy could not realize how much effort backs up each child’s treatment. But now he knows the price of recovery from cancer and appreciates it greatly.
Together with Seryozha we thank all donors and volunteers of Gift of Life and Фонд Подари жизнь for their ongoing support. Spasibo! ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month in the UK. The country where one case of blood cancer is registered every 20 minutes with 25,000 people diagnosed each year, the problem needs public attention and funding.
In Russia leukaemia and lymphoma are also among the most common cancers, especially in children. Sadly, each year over a 1000 of patients below 18 years old die of cancer in Russian clinics. This can be changed by getting better access to diagnostics and relevant medical treatments. Please, donate now to help Gift of Life save children and add to the global anti-cancer movement: http://giftoflife.eu/donate/ ... See MoreSee Less

“Remember a Charity in Your Will” week is coming to an end on Sunday. For a week, charities in the UK campaign and point out the importance of gifts in Wills. With only 6 per cent of the UK population remembering charities they used to support throughout life in their Wills, a massive £2 billion donation is still generated by legacy giving each year 😲 That’s an income to consider seriously.
Gift of Life have not been dealing with such giving yet, but we are open to discussion. With massive inheritance taxes and changing perceptions of Britons towards charitable legacies, the day when legacy giving becomes a social norm can come as soon as tomorrow. ... See MoreSee Less
