Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity exists to improve the lives of seriously ill children, specifically those with severe brain and blood conditions. Many of these conditions are rare, which is no consolation to the child and parent affected. In fact, it often means they’re more isolated and scared. They can find themselves amongst nurses and doctors who are struggling to diagnose, to care, and to treat. The whole experience can be terrifying.
