Blood cancers affect all ages, and ELF’s awards are targeted at all age groups. All our awards are made with the patient in mind and even the research and clinical trials we support are chosen to have a near future benefit for patients. To reinforce our patient centred approach, ELF makes a number of grants each year to support doctors, nurses and related health professionals in their work with blood cancer patients. We are particularly proud of the support we give to nurses, because it is the nurses who are most often in the frontline of patient care. We are also aware that advances in treatment and care come about by education and training. ELF awards Educational Fellowships each year so that doctors, nurses and related health professionals can advance their ability to treat and care for blood cancer patients. Because of our patient centre focus, by helping ELF today, you are helping blood cancer patients today.

Jessicas Sarcoma Awareness
(UK, 1157819) Browse events
YTD Raised: £14,285.96Jessica Robson was diagnosed with alveolar sarcoma cancer on the 1st of November 2010 aged 14 after finding a slight lump in her left thigh on a holiday in August the same year. After a hard 3 and half year battle with cancer she passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of the 16th of May 2014 aged 18. Jess always loved raising money and with all the fund raising she has done in the past 3 years, as a family we have raised over £28,000 for a number of charities. Jess loved when people brought presents in for Christmas and Easter eggs in for the patients. We (Jessica's sister and parents) are keeping Jessica's inspiration alive by keeping her fundraising going but now in her name. We have set up the charity 'JESSICA'S SARCOMA AWARENESS', in the memory of Jess, the money we will raise will go 25% to teenage cancer trust (a charity closest to Jessica's heart) 25% to Sarcoma UK (as jess always wanted to help beat cancer) and the other 50% will stay in the charity which I will then work out money to be able to make up presents for the other children in hospital fighting this awful disease. For example, Easter, Christmas and so on and financing days out for the patients and their families. Jessica was never selfish, always smiling and never gave up. She never deserved this awful disease but I want Jessica's spirits to live on.
