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.

London Legal Run 2017 at Hyde Park this Wednesday, 24 May was a great success! The annual Run in aid of Gift of Life gathered 75 athletes and volunteers from leading London legal firms and raised over £1300 to benefit children with cancer in Russian hospitals.
We cannot thank enough the athletes who came to support us and completed this rather challenging and not straight forward 5K running route. They ran for life and made a real difference to the children in our care. Our special greets go to the winners of the Run:

1. Philipp Koverchenko, B&S Legal – 17:23
2. Andriy Byelka, Bank4You – 18:48
3. Nathaniel Hicks, Ernst & Young – 18:58

1. Sophie Baillie, Haberman & Illet – 20:10
2. Jessica Hyde, Fieldfisher – 22:41
3. Krystyna Khripkova, Wilmerhale – 23:06

We very much appreciate the help of the organizers of the Run: Jane Fedotova and her colleagues from Fieldfisher and KIAP, Attorneys at Law, as well as the Run legal partners and sponsors: Fieldfisher, RPC, Fladgate, Duff & Phelps, Ernst & Young, RCAN, PWC, and media partners: ARLA and RYUMKA.
Great job done!
Our praise goes to Banya No.1 – their gift certificates made lovely presents for the winners of the race. And, of course, our gratitude to volunteers who gave us great deal of support in arranging the Run knows no borders.
Being hugely popular in Russia and all over the world Legal Run 2017 took place across 50 cities in 12 counties and attracted in excess 5000 legal professionals. London hosted the Run for the third this year. Undoubtedly, Legal Run will eventually grow into a massive fundraising initiative, spreading beyond London and bringing more UK cities to join in the future.

Let’s countdown to #winnersgames together!
VIII Worldwide Winners Games are opening on 2nd June in Moscow. We expect hundreds of 7-16 years old kids who survived cancer to compete in various sports, make former rivals their new friends and enjoy the life full of energy and freedom. For many, the tournaments of the Games will make a fresh start after a long and demanding cancer treatment.

Thanks to your kind donations, former Gift of Life patients keep taking part in the Games. Our heroes are: 10 years old chess player and runner Egor from Moscow; 16 years old Dima from Kursk took part in football, swimming and tennis competitions; 18 years old Anastasia helps with the “Filming school” rehabilitation project of Podari Zhizn and films the Games; and, of course, our beloved Rita from Chelyabinsk region, a volunteer photographer supporting the Games year after year. All of them were treated with highly effective, but very expensive medicine #Erwinase in previous years. We could not have helped these young people without your support. Thank you!

And we’d be happy to see you among the supporters of the Games too. If you happen to be in Moscow on 2-4 June, come along to CSKA stadium and cheer our little champions. Free access, no tickets needed. Details for anyone attending: http://www.winnersgames.ru/en
