Medicine & Chernobyl (UK) is a charity organised by volunteer groups to help the people of Belarus after the Chernobyl nuclear power station disaster. Following the accident in Chernobyl in April 1986, the Republic of Belarus, a former Soviet Republic, received 70% of the radioactive fallout caused by the explosion which created contamination 90 times greater than that at Hiroshima. More than 2 million people, including hundreds of thousands of children are still living in contaminated areas. Economic depression and a shortage of food and medical supplies in Belarus make the situation even worse. The people of Belarus eat what they produce and most of the agricultural land is contaminated, so practically all the population of Belarus is exposed to radiation. Since the disaster childhood cancer of the thyroid has increased dramatically; children also suffer from stomach disorders; many children have been born with genetic disorders as a consequence of the radiation suffered by their parents. In spite of the length of time since the disaster, the country is still contaminated by radioactivity and will so for hundreds of years. Whilst leukaemia has not yet been a major problem, the experience of the atomic bombs in Japan is that some cancers have a long incubation period and it is feared leukaemia and other disorders may begin to increase.

For over five years Lauren fought numerous recurrences. She knew that a recurrence is more emotionally and physically devastating than a first diagnosis. Lauren would say: “With a first diagnosis, you have a plan. You go through surgery, chemo, and radiation with the hope and faith that you are going to get better. It’s a terrible thing to go through, but there’s hope. Then all of a sudden, whether it’s a month, a year, or two years, it comes back. Now you feel…why can’t I catch a break, what did I do wrong?” In her final days Lauren wrote, I AM UP TO YOU – and charged her parents, Laurie & Dean and older sister, Dana, with taking care of her final wish & foundation, which Lauren defined as the "Reason for Her Journey”. Lauren’s mission for the ELLE FOUNDATION is to give children with a recurrence of cancer and their families a moment to forget, to laugh, to rejuvenate their spirits. WHY IS THE ELLE FOUNDATION IMPORTANT TO CHILDREN WITH A RECURRENCE OF CANCER? WHAT MAKES THE ELLE FOUNDATION DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WISH GRANTING ORGANIZATIONS? The ELLE Foundation is the only wish granting organization whose sole mission is to grant final wishes for children with a recurrence of cancer. With time being of the essence final wishes requires an extraordinary financial commitment but Lauren's passion inspires us every day and our dedication to these deserving children is unwavering. WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE TO THE ELLE FOUNDATION? The Elle Foundation is a GuideStar Gold 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is operated on a 100% volunteer basis, - staffed by Laurie, Dean and Dana - and a family of volunteers. Our financial support comes from the generous donations of family, friends, community organizations & businesses all touched by Lauren’s journey and the journeys of Elle's Kids. With the average wish costing between $4,000 and $8,000 with your support our goal is to never turn a wish child away due to a lack of funds. When treatment options may be coming to an end, and all a child & their family NEEDS and WANTS is a moment of joy in their lives, with your support, the Elle Foundation can grant these final wishes. And although we cannot grant the one final wish every family with a child battling a recurrence of cancer wants, we can be there for them and create memories their hearts will treasure forever.
