”Myself & my husband honestly can’t quite believe how powerful Mr Duckie is! Mr Duckie’s arrival definitely made the Hickman line insertion as smooth as possible for our son. We will be forever grateful for such a fantastic initiative to help us navigate this challenging, confusing time for him’’.
Every week in the UK around 30 families will receive the devastating news that their child has cancer.
The Give A Duck Foundation is a children’s cancer charity, supporting children who have been diagnosed with cancer throughout the UK. They provide Chemo Duck packs to every UK Principal Treatment Centre and over 30 UK shared care hospitals. Chemo Duck is fitted with medical lines and ports to mirror those of the child and offers comfort and support to children from the start of their treatment journey.
This inspirational charity is looking for an exceptional Regional Fundraiser to join the small but mighty fundraising team and help raise the vital funds needed to make its mission possible; they can’t stop children getting cancer, but they can help to make the treatment journey easier.
