CTC contributes to the fight against childhood cancer in 2024

Since 2018, CTC AB has proudly supported the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation in the fight against childhood cancer and this year is no exception.

Children and cancer are two words that should never have come together. Yet they form the most common cause of death from disease among children in Sweden.

Every day, a child in Sweden is affected by cancer. But there is hope. Thanks to research and more effective treatment methods, progress has been made and today 85% survive. But we want all children who get cancer to survive, and to live a good and long life. To achieve this, we have decided to support the important work of the Children's Cancer Foundation - this is something we are proud of.

- Being able to contribute to the work of the Children's Cancer Foundation means a lot to us at CTC. We are proud to be part of something so important - giving affected children and their families support and hope for a brighter future, says Leni Andersson, marketing coordinator at CTC AB.

Join us in supporting the Children's Cancer Fund 2024 - together we can make a difference. 💙

This year we get to know Karl

In this year's Child Supporters' Pack, you will meet Karl, who turned 7 in February. A month before Christmas 2022, he was diagnosed with leukemia and started a two-year treatment. The fall of 2023 was a tough period for Karl, as he contracted both whooping cough and pneumonia. Therefore, a quiet Christmas with his family was very high on his wish list.

Karl, who loves to draw and play football, swims and also plays floorball. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of absenteeism, but when the treatment is finished, the family hopes that there will be more opportunities.

At home, Karl has a black labrador called Sixten and a cat called Sven Igen. The previous cat Sven was hit by a car, so there had to be a Sven again...

When Karl fell ill, there were Corona restrictions, which meant that the family could hardly see anyone, while all activities were paused in the hospital. This made them feel very lonely, but one funny thing that happened was when Mat-Tina herself had been by Karl's room and left a present. It was a gingerbread house and lots of goodies that they could make in their room.

When Karl grows up, he wants to be a fireman.
