Cure Kids is a charity which we have always backed because it is so fantastic but last year it was all brought home when we discovered Finlay would be born with a congenital heart defect and then later on was diagnosed with Diabetes. Living day-to-day with a sick child is incredibly humbling .... like the other kids that CureKids supports Finlay has had to put up with far more than either you or I can even begin to imagine in his short life and yet you can guarantee that he will always be quick with a laugh and a smile. CureKids have been an incredible support for us.
As well as supporting families Cure Kids have invested over $21 million in medical research. This research has helped save hundreds of young lives and has improved the quality of life for thousands of children. Today, they are more committed than ever to help find answers to the many cruel, life-threatening illnesses that devastate the lives of young children and their families.
Their successes include :
Asthma
Breakthroughs into the causes of childhood leukaemia
Childhood Diabetes
Childhood Heart Conditions
Internationally adopted treatment fr cystic fibrosis
Life-saving cot death preventative strategies
Liver Disease
Molecular Genetics
Paediatric Cancer
Placental cord Blood Banking
Respiratory Illnesses
Rheumatic Fever
Spina Bifida
Treatment for hole in the heart blue babies
World-first breakthroughs into genetic research
I've highlighted the research that is particularly pertinent to us.
