Kidscan was Fisher German's first firmwide charity of the year in 2017-18. During the year, we raised funds in a variety of wild and wonderful ways including pimbledon, quiz nights, FGBay auction, weight loss competition, tombolas and cake sales.
We met with Emma Pawluk from Kidscan and deputy Managing Partner, Tim Shuldham, handed over the final cheque for &6,911.80.
Emma said: 'An amount like your amazing total could go towards research such as our Methionine project in which we have demonstrated how manipulation of the amino acid methionine can affect the proliferation of cancer cells, as well as helping to discover a way of allowing healthy cells to take charge of cancerous cells. Thank you so much for raising such an incredible amount.'
Kidscan aims to improve current childhood cancer treatments, develop new targeted treatments and use their research base to influence policy to overcome the obstacles to the introduction of new and existing drugs to clinicians with the ultimate goal of curing all children diagnosed with cancer.
