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.
