Patron's Message With core programmes in place, the Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF) is well-positioned to be a holistic provider to care for cancer afflicted children and their families. CCF supports the training and research of childhood cancer and complements our hospitals' efforts in this area to enhance survival of this illness. As part of this initiative, we have gone a step further beyond our shores, seeking to enable regional doctors to increase the rate of cure in developing countries. I am confident that these developments will contribute significantly to alleviating the pain and suffering of the children who suffer from cancer, and in the process, give much-needed support to their families. I am happy to join in our fight against childhood cancer as the Foundation's patron. I take this opportunity to encourage all medical professionals and the public to also join us at the Children's Cancer Foundation as we strive to give every cancer-stricken child a shot at life!

The threat of cancer in our affluent lifestyle is very real. With about
120 new cases of childhood cancer diagnosed annually, it is important
that we press on with our fight against this disease. Up till now, the
causes of most childhood cancers are still unknown. However, one thing
is certain - cancer inflicts immense physical and emotional stress on
the child and family.
