Fight for Life, needs your help!

Fight For Life is a Charity fund within the University College London Hospitals charities reg no 229771

The Fight for Life children's cancer charity is committed to raising substantial funds each year to maintain the Radiotherapy Unit treating children at the new University College Hospital in Marylebone Road, London.

This unit services all of Great Ormond Street's radiotherapy needs and is the primary paediatric radiotherapy unit in the south-east of England. Since FFL began in 1997 we have purchased our very own Radiotherapy Linear Accelerator machine, a PET/CT Scanner and we maintain a wonderful Children's Play Area which is regularly updated with toys and equipment.

The play area and their wonderful play therapist help to make the unit and the treatment much more 'kid friendly' and much less scary.

TrueBeam™
Fight For Lfie's 2011 / 2012 Commitment to the UCLH Children's Radio Therapy Unit

Change has been the inspiration for TrueBeam™ a new, state-of-the-art radiotherapy and radiosurgery system optimized to destroy cancer. It has been built with intelligent engineering, innovative features and intuitive operation. This is based upon years of research, and provides a capability that allows doctors to tailor patients’ treatments for their particular type of cancer.

This new machine will allow us to treat our children with cancer in the most accurate way. Imaging on this new unit is some of the best in the world. The engineering innovations mean we will be able to treat children very quickly with the smallest fields possible – this will allow us to reduce the dose to normal organs and tissue.

There is a fantastic inbuilt intercom system too, so it will be even easier for parents to talk and read stories to their children during Radiotherapy.
