Support Us

The continuing support of our partners, grant-makers and donors is essential as we seek to fulfill our mission to make the discoveries that defeat Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer.

Statistics show that one in three of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. Even if you are not directly affected, nearly all of us will be moved by the pain and suffering cancer causes to a dear relative or friend.

Our Senior Scientist and Assistant are working every day in our lab at the ICR (Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Surrey – to make a real impact on childhood cancer patients’ lives. Through our unique partnership the ICR with The Royal Marsden NHS foundation Trust and ‘bench-to-bedside’ approach, we are able to create and deliver results in a way that other institutions cannot. The Chris Lucas Trust are rated the largest organisation to exclusively fund Rhabdomyosarcoma in the whole of Europe.

In partnership with the ICR has an unrivalled track record in cancer research going back over 100 years. Having provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, we laid the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer is a genetic disease. Today the ICR lead the world in isolating cancer-related genes and discovering new targeted drugs for personalised cancer treatment.

Opportunities for support

As a non-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of our donors and supporters to:

fund Senior Medical Researcher
fund Assistant Medical Resracher
fund new equipment for our research
funding PhD students thus support the training of the cancer research leaders of the future

Developing personalised treatments for cancer is at the very heart of the our partnership with the ICR’s strategy and our scientists and clinicians are at the forefront of research in this field.

Our current funding priorities are:

Help us provide funding for our Senior Medical Researcher and Assistant.
Help us provide funding for all scientific consumables
Help us fund new equipment towards Tumour Profililing, to enhance our understanding of Rhabdomyosarcoma tumour cells. This will allow us to take a more personalised approach to diagnosis and treatment
Help us fund PhD students to enable them to perfect their skills under the guidance of our world’s best Rhabdomyosrcoma cancer scientist, and increase the impact of their own research

We are extremely grateful to the many thousands of individuals and organisations who have already helped us in our mission to make the discoveries that defeat Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer.
