UNIDOS CONTRA EL DIPG is a non-profit association made up mostly of families who have lost their children to DIPG, a devastating brain tumor for which there is no cure. 90% of children die one year after diagnosis. It is one of the leading causes of death from illness in childhood. We support research projects for childhood cancer so that one day there will be an effective treatment. Help us make that day come soon. www.unidoscontraeldipg.org

The SJD Pediatric Center is the first monographic centre for paediatric oncology in Spain (2nd in Europe). 70% of the centre is devoted to care and 30% to research. It has the capacity to care for 400 children and youngsters. Its spaces are designed with the emotional well-being of the children and their families in mind. Our aim is that the children have more options to overcome cancer with less after-effects. Your euro helps to carry out the humanisation programmes and new treatments. Will you join us?

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.
