ABOUT US
Don’t Look Down hopes that more children will get the chance to live the life they deserve. We chose the name as to encompass Fred’s fearless and risk-taking attitude as well as conveying how difficult the whole journey is.
Our goal is to reach £150,000 to fund a valuable research project in Fred’s name.
Fred’s medical team said that they still don’t know why some types of leukaemia don’t respond to standard treatments. The money raised will fund research into finding new cures and treatment plans for refractory ALL. We also would like these new treatments to be kinder to children, with less short- and long-term side effects than existing chemotherapy.
We hope that we will all find risky and adventurous things to do to raise money in his name.
