Mission Statement
Our mission is to help cancer patients get access to the most effective treatments available. We want to make sure that cancer patients' lives depend not on their income or birthplace, but on the progress of modern medicine.
Description
We focus on supporting children and adults undergoing treatment in St. Petersburg, Russia or those traveling for treatment abroad. Some patients require stem cell transplants from foreign bone marrow donor registries. Others, with rare and less-studied types of cancer, have to travel for treatment or participation in clinical trials abroad.
Your donations help to pay for bone marrow donor searches in registries around the world, medical treatment, medications, diagnostic tests and scans, and direct help to affected families. We also serve as advocates for our patients: we help them obtain consultations by world-renowned experts, enroll in clinical trials with emerging medications, develop support network and raise funds for treatment. We are a volunteer-run organization.
