The Aila Coull Foundation
(UK, SC043776) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,741.25Our precious baby girl, Aila Coull, lost her battle to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (A.M.L.) aged 16 months following five months of grueling treatment. A.M.L. accounts for less than 20% of childhood leukaemias. It is more often found in adults, where the majority of research is carried out, but behaves very differently in children. There is only a 50% survival rate with this paediatric cancer which depends hugely on each individual patient's particular genetic complications. In setting up The Aila Coull Foundation, our main aim is to help fund research into newer, better treatments and ultimately a cure for this aggressive disease. The Foundation will also from time to time support other charitable purposes or organisations connected with childhood Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
