C2C was born through the will of an Oncologist, Dr. Lawrence Faulkner, who has an extraordinary passion and dedication for really sick children. His experience in this delicate field of paediatric haematology-oncology drove him to promote a project with the finality of bringing a cure to children affected by this sickness. He believed it was critical to extend to developing countries the protocols, medicine, and experience of a scientific committee with international credibility.

C2C was also born through motivated parents who lived the every day pain of the loss of a child to cancer. This pain cannot be quantified and no words can describe it. The only certainty to come out of this experience was the desire to ensure equal opportunities for any child.

More children will have access to the treatment, therefore more children can be cured and go on to live a healthy life. This will also allow the international paediatric oncology field to advance and perfect treatment protocols to become more effective and potentially help more children around the world.
There are many associations in Italy and around the world with valid missions that work in the area of childhood cancer. C2C gets involved where the treatment is either unknown or there is little or no access to it.

Unfortunately there are lots of children that are diagnosed with cancer. Some of these children get better and others lose their lives due to the uncontrollable progression of the disease, or due to complications from the medicine toxicity, or from infection. No parent can accept that their child could die due to being given the wrong treatment or medicine, or from not having access to the treatment or medicine at all.

Nothing is more important than a child.
Nothing is more important than to treat and cure a child
