Each year over 300 children with their families suffer the crisis of a rare cancer diagnosis – BUT our Foundation only has the resources to assist 50 of these cases
.. We urgently need your help

Who we are

The Leila Rose Foundation is dedicated to assisting families affected by Rare Childhood Cancer.

The Leila Rose Foundation offer support and guidance to families when faced with the painful reality that little may be known about the cancer affecting their child.

Assistance offered by the Leila Rose Foundation is diverse and ranges from supporting families with the practical responsibilities associated with tackling a rare disease to seeking secondary or specialist intervention in addition to researching global treatment advances for like cancers.
