WE C Hope for All Children With Eye Cancer, Survivors, and Their Families
Increasing access to specialist care will save more children’s lives and sight, strengthen survivors’ lifelong health, and support family wellbeing. We:
- Educate the public and medical community about retinoblastoma to achieve early diagnosis and rapid referral to specialist care
- Empower medical teams to deliver sustainable high quality evidence-based care for affected children and adult survivors.
- Enable family support programs that reduce practical and emotional burdens and improve access to essential care
Less Stress, More Success! Follow Our #RbChildLife Alphabet Of Hope
Caring for a child with retinoblastoma is so much more than treating the cancer. Child life focuses on the whole child – supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs during stressful medical experiences, empowering families, and transforming care through education and play.
The #RbChildLife Alphabet of Hope highlights simple approaches and vital supports that help children and their families thrive during treatment and beyond.
Every 4 weeks throughout 2025-6, a new letter will be added to our website with links to further resources on the topic. Get involved at the Alphabet Hub.
