We organise various activities to raise funds for neuroblastoma, including sponsored walks, runs, cycle challenges, gala dinners, auctions, and more. Our goal is to inspire people to participate, have fun, and make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by neuroblastoma.
Research & Funding
At TeamLuke Foundation, our goal is to enhance the lives of neuroblastoma patients by providing funding for cutting-edge research and top-quality care.
Research has shown that early diagnosis is crucial in the fight against neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that affects infants and young children. Unfortunately, this disease often goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages, making it more difficult to treat and resulting in lower survival rates. By investing in research, we can develop better screening methods and more effective treatments that will give children with neuroblastoma a better chance at recovery.
Moreover, funding research can also lead to advancements in understanding the disease, its causes, and how it affects patients at the molecular level. This knowledge can lead to the developing of targeted therapies and personalised treatment plans, resulting in better patient outcomes. It can also help us identify risk factors for the disease, allowing for preventative measures to be taken in high-risk groups.
The TeamLuke Foundation and its community have the power to make a difference in the lives of those affected by neuroblastoma. By supporting research efforts, we can work towards a future where no child has to suffer from this devastating disease, and families can have hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Supporting Neuroblastoma Research and Funding
Here, we address common inquiries about the importance of early diagnosis, the impact of funding research, ways to support our mission, and the utilisation of donations. We also provide information on our lottery program and grant acquisitions.
We understand that you may have questions about how you can make a difference and contribute to enhancing the lives of those affected by neuroblastoma.
Why is early diagnosis important in the fight against neuroblastoma?
Early diagnosis is crucial because neuroblastoma often goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages. Detecting the disease early increases the chances of successful treatment and higher survival rates. Investing in research can help develop better screening methods, leading to earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes for children with neuroblastoma.
How does funding research contribute to better treatment and care for neuroblastoma patients?
Funding research allows for advancements in understanding the disease, its causes, and its impact on patients at the molecular level. This knowledge can lead to developing targeted therapies and personalised treatment plans, resulting in better patient outcomes. Research can also help identify risk factors for the disease, enabling preventative measures in high-risk groups.
How can I make a difference and support the TeamLuke Foundation's mission?
You can make a difference by supporting the TeamLuke Foundation's research efforts and fundraising projects. You can donate through various channels such as online platforms, direct mail, workplace giving, and major gifts. Additionally, you can participate in our fundraising events like sponsored walks, runs, cycle challenges, gala dinners, and auctions. Your support helps accelerate groundbreaking research, raise awareness, and improve treatment and care for those affected by neuroblastoma.
How are donations used by the TeamLuke Foundation?
Donations are a critical source of funding for the TeamLuke Foundation. They enable us to support cutting-edge research, develop innovative treatments, and provide essential services and resources to patients and their families. We prioritise transparency and accountability, ensuring that all donations are used efficiently and effectively to make a meaningful impact.
