Charlie’s story
Charlotte was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma when she was just 12 weeks old. The tumour was wrapped around her spine, crushing the nerves and causing permanent paralysis below the waist. But Charlotte’s determination to succeed has seen her go on to achieve incredible things.
Today, Charlie represents Team GB in basketball and has won medals in the 2018 World Championships and several European Championships and has a degree in Human Biology. This is her inspiring story.
Lauren's story
Lauren was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in 1983, when she was 16 months old. She was given a 10% chance of survival.
Today she says, ‘It is a privilege to share my story. Like Neuroblastoma UK, I also turn 40 this year and I've reached this milestone thanks to the amazing doctors and science that saved me! I’ve been given the gift of being here - now, as a parent myself, I want to give something back to help others.” Lauren tells her own story.
