September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Shining a Light this September
Every September, The Daniella Logun Foundation stands at the forefront of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We raise our voices to highlight the profound, long-term wellbeing challenges, medical demands, and emotional hurdles that children diagnosed with brain tumours or cancer—and their resilient families—face every single day.
- At DLF, we deeply understand this difficult journey. We exist to step into the gap—providing holistic wellbeing support, breaking the cycle of isolation, and restoring strength to families navigating these life-altering changes.
Spread Awareness and Join the 2026 Campaign Movement Today.

Families At Breaking Point
Today, far too many families are left struggling to cope with the devastating reality of a childhood cancer diagnosis. The overwhelming pace of fast-tracked treatment cycles, harsh medical side effects, and complex daily symptoms place untold pressure on the entire family unit.
As priorities shift overnight toward basic survival, friends and social circles often begin to withdraw, leaving parents and siblings trapped in profound isolation. Left unchecked, these immense, unaddressed wellbeing pressures cause family relationships to strain and, tragically, break.
We cannot let these families break. Your support helps us step in with a lifeline when they need it most.
How You Can Protect a Family Today:
- 💛 Power the #DLFWearSomethingYellow Campaign: Mobilize your school, office, or community to raise vital funds that keep our support services running.
- 🎈 Join Us at Our Family Fun Day: Stand in solidarity with our community on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Uxbridge High School for a day of joy, connection, and hope.
- 🤝 Extend an Act of Kindness: Directly impact and uplift a family navigating childhood cancer in your local area.

The Reality Families Face
Why Your Support Matters
Brain tumours behave entirely differently in children than in adults because a child's body and brain cells are still rapidly developing. The impact can be devastatingly swift, robbing a child of vital motor skills, speech, mobility, and sight within a matter of weeks.
The statistics speak to the absolute urgency of our mission:
- 26% of all childhood cancers are neurological (affecting the brain or spinal cord).
- 10 children are diagnosed with a brain tumour every single week in the UK.
- 1 in 5 childhood cancer deaths in the UK are directly caused by brain tumours.
Support Our Future Vision
Every action you take helps us build a lasting legacy of care, compassion, and holistic support for the minds, bodies, and spirits of these incredibly brave children. Together, we can bring light and joy to the dark moments.

Bridging inequality gaps in holistic wellbeing support
In 2021, we launched our first campaign to raise awareness of childhood cancer in our community. Life changes for children with cancer & their families. 90% of our families struggle with various expressions of isolation, due to the gap in the availability and accessibility of childhood cancer wellbeing support services.
Our mission is to close this significant wellbeing support gap and improve wellbeing outcomes for our children and their families. As the exclusive childhood cancer support charity in Hillingdon, September is a critical opportunity to campaign and raise greater awareness of the holistic wellbeing needs of our Children and Young People with cancer and their families.

Improving the wellbeing outcomes of children with cancer and their families.
The National Health Service (NHS) is a 'free-at-the-point-of-access' service, equipped with some of the world's best doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals.
However, inequalities and gaps currently exist in the access to, experience of provision of holistic wellbeing support and the outcomes to Children & Young People diagnosed with brain tumours, other cancers and their families.
Our Mission: Prioritising Holistic Wellbeing for Better Outcomes
At The Daniella Logun Foundation, we believe that clinical treatment is only one part of the battle. A child fighting cancer requires dedicated, wrap-around holistic wellbeing support that must be prioritised alongside their medical care to ensure their emotional, mental, and physical needs are met early. This proactive approach is the true strategy for securing better long-term outcomes for these brave children.
Grounded in World-Class Research
We don't just advocate for better care; we help build the framework for it. We are incredibly proud of our contribution to the development of the Children's Palliative Care Outcomes Scale (C-POS), working in collaboration with the prestigious Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care and King's College London.
