For many families caring for a child affected by neuroblastoma means many hours in and out of hospital by your child’s side, and in some cases even re-locating to be closer to hospital as a consequence. Due to the care and time involved many parents have to give up work, even after treatment has finished. It is often very hard to return to an office job even if treatment is successful. We are therefore partnering with Hoxby with the idea that they can support some families by providing a more flexible option as well as a possible source of income.
