Registered Charity number 1167783
​
For childhood cancer awareness and research into solid tumours in children and young people.
​
A little about us:
The Grace Kelly Ladybird Trust was set up in memory of 4 year old Grace who passed away in 2014 after being diagnoses with an aggressive form of cancer, a malignant rhabdoid tumour. As a caring, helpful little girl, Grace left behind a wish to help others. Through the Grace Kelly Ladybird Trust, we are working to make this possible.
In the UK, childhood cancer is the biggest medical cause of death of our children. Every year, just under 4,000 children and young adults in the UK receive this life changing diagnosis.
​
The Grace Kelly Ladybird Trust is working to raise awareness of this problem and to provide grants for research into rare paediatric childhood tumours, including malignant rhabdoid tumours.
