Helping Children Fight Paediatric Cancer and Providing the gift of a shining memory The Smile Smile PROJECT aims to take families on a trip that they will remember forever. Our doctors and nurses ensure that families who are anxious about leaving home and traveling while their child undergoing treatment, can enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Childhood cancer affects approximately 2,500 children a year in Japan alone, and 70-80% of these cases can be cured. However, the physical, mental and financial burden on children and their families is immeasurable, as both children and their families must go through a difficult time due to treatment with strong side effects, prolonged hospitalization and the fear that the disease may recur. We want these children and their families to have an irreplaceable time through outings and trips.
When treatment has reached a point,or when the limits of treatment have been reached, we want to give "a time of shining memories that will stay with them for a lifetime" to children and their families who are amid a tough fight against the disease. We hope that the time spent here will serve as a driving force for the next phase of treatment and help overcome their fear of relapse. Additionally, we believe that the child's smile and the family's joy will provide great strength to move forward.
1. To realize a world where children facing childhood cancer, their families, medical staff, supporters and staff themselves can feel grateful to have been born. 2. To aim for a society where childhood cancer support is free from medical professionals and is taken for granted by society.
