Cure Neuroblastoma For Me
At the end of 2010, we launched a national awareness campaign called 'Cure Neuroblastoma for Me'. The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness of Neuroblastoma and its signs and symptoms so such a degree that it is a common household word.
We aim to educate the public as to the signs and symptoms of Neuroblastoma, and to employ a 'test for Cancer first, rule out everything else later' policy. By making it acceptable and expected that parents and G.P's react to signs and symptoms in this way, rather than dismissing symptoms until the child's life is at risk, more children will be diagnosed early and lives will be saved.
Below are some of the high visibility campaigns we are working on. We are always open to new ideas and offers of help. Raising awareness of Neuroblastoma to this level will require a huge effort from as many people as possible. We hope you will join us.
100 Faces Poster
FAN has created a poster designed to show that 100 children every year is a lot of children, and one of them could be yours next. Please download this poster and display it anywhere you can, the window of your house or car, your place of work, your local library etc. And please use our facebook page to tell us how you are helping, we'd love to hear!

Poster Campaign 01
FAN has pledged to produce a poster for every UK family affected by Neuroblastoma. We aim to collectively place these posters, both in paper and digital format, in as many places as possible. All posters highlight the impact of Neuroblastoma on the child, their family and friends, and the wider community. All posters are designed to lead people to this website with the hope that they will join us 'Do one thing' to help Cure Neuroblastoma.

Signs & Symptoms
We have produced this simple signs and symptoms poster. It is designed to be read in 30 seconds, printer friendly and easy to share.Every time our FAN page reaches 500 new members we post this on the wall and ask that people share it.
We have an ongoing program where we invite people to list small items on ebay, such as baby items, and print this leaflet off and include it with the item. Worried parents might like to print it off and take it to the G.P with your concerns.

Neuroblastoma on Eastenders
FAN is running a campaign based on Facebook to find 100,000 people who would like to see Eastender write Neuroblastoma into the story line of Eastenders. Eastenders have a proven track record of bringing national awareness and understanding to things such as HIV & AIDS, Cot Death and Bipolar disorder. Eastenders is Britains most popular soap opera and is watched by 11 million viewers, 4 times per week.
To have Neuroblastoma featured in such a way would bring about much needed awareness for this and all childhood Cancer on a grand scale, and would save many lives. Please join our campaign and invite all your friends to do the same by clicking this link and 'Like' our page.
