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.

"Prendi un paio di jeans e due camicie, vai a Madrid", disse il pediatra. Quella cosa "strana" che sentiva nel piccolo Pablo si rivelò essere un neuroblastoma, un cancro infantile che colpisce le cellule del sistema nervoso. E' passato un anno da quel duro colpo. Pablo ha completato i suoi tre anni di vita salendo passo dopo passo e lì continua a lottare con la spinta della sua famiglia. Aiutaci, per favore, donando 1 euro / mese per indagare su questa malattia orfana. Grazie mille!

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.
