To mark International Childhood Cancer Day (15 Feb 2020), comedian and chocoholic Alan Carr has made a pledge to give up his favourite treat and raise money for research into neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer.
Alan Carr, comedian and celebrity patron of Neuroblastoma UK, is supporting the charity’s Great Give It Up this March and said, “Neuroblastoma is a horrible cancer which mostly affects children. I love a cheeky bit of chocolate and it’ll be a huge challenge for me to give it up! But it’s nowhere near as big a challenge as what these children go through.
“Children with neuroblastoma need treatment which can make them so sick that they have to give up their favourite food too. But they don’t have a choice. Please join me this March and make your Great Give It Up pledge today to help fund vital research into neuroblastoma.”
How it works
It’s simple - choose something to give up during March and and make your #GreatGiveItUp pledge at www.neuroblastoma.org.uk/great-give-it-up It could be anything from giving up chocolate like Alan, laying off the lattes, cutting out crisps to making it a meat-free March.
By donating the money you’d save to Neuroblastoma UK, you’ll be funding vital research to help deliver new, effective and kinder treatments for children with neuroblastoma.
Your donations will fund much-needed research to improve treatments and one day, find a cure for neuroblastoma.
