Did you know that 5,000 people get sick with leukaemia each year in Spain, which is the most common childhood cancer, and that despite the progress made, we still lose one in four minors and half of adults? At the Josep Carreras Foundation we have been working for more than 30 years to make leukaemia a 100% curable disease, to find 100% compatible donors for everyone, and to make displaced patients feel at home. With your help, we are unstoppable.

"Coged un par de vaqueros y dos camisas, os vais a Madrid", les dijo su pediatra. Eso «raro» que palpó en el pequeño Pablo resultó ser un neuroblastoma, un cáncer infantil que afecta a las células del sistema nervioso. Un año y una semana hace que les cayó ese jarro de agua fría. Pablo ha cumplido sus tres años de vida subiendo escalón a escalón y ahí sigue luchando con el empuje de su familia. Ayúdanos, por favor, donando 1 euro/mes para investigar esta enfermedad huérfana. Muchas gracias!

We are a family from Spain. Our son Mateo, has a genetic mutation in the NEK8 gene, considered ultra rare, that is damaging his organs. When he was 9 months old, he had a liver transplant and when he was 3 years old, a kidney transplant. In a future he could need a heart transplant, also. There is a research team that can help him to stop his illness but they need funding (€62,000). Your contribution can save him.
