Ruby-Rose Rainbow Fund

The Ruby-Rose Rainbow Fund is dedicated to support research to develop less harmful and more effective treatments for paediatric cancer, in particular AML

The Ruby-Rose Rainbow Fund was created in honour of Ruby-Rose Ford. Ruby-Rose passed away at the age of nearly 3 years old on 12 December 2015 from Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). The Foundation is dedicated to help fund research to find more effective and less harmful treatments for childhood leukaemia. Ruby-Rose was diagnosed with AML at 18 months old. She then spent the next six months at The R

oyal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment. She went home and 6 weeks later relapsed. With a further two rounds of chemotherapy, Ruby-Rose relapsed again and went straight into Bone Marrow Transplant. Two months post-transplant, Ruby underwent Total Body Electron Beam Radiation, the first of its kind performed on a toddler in Australia. Ruby-Rose came home from hospital but after a total of 17 months fighting her leukaemia, she relapsed again and sadly lost her battle with cancer. In memory of Ruby-Rose, her family has joined with the Children's Cancer Foundation to raise funds in support of children with cancer. In particular, the fundraising is to support clinical research and trials investigating targeted therapies for childhood leukaemia that are more natural and gentler treatments. The hope is to find other solutions compared with the conventional harsh treatment of chemotherapy and radiation that are being administered to our children with cancer today. All funds raised by the Ruby-Rose Rainbow Fund are held in trust by the Children's Cancer Foundation and will be distributed in consultation with Ruby-Rose's family. The family wanted to team up with the Children's Cancer Foundation as they are an established and recognised charity who's main purpose is to raise funds for research into better and gentler treatment for children with cancer. Ruby-Rose's parent also wanted to join with the Children's Cancer Foundation as it was founded by parents of kids with cancer who have a great insight into the treatments and what their children go through.

“If we can help families who are going through what we have been through and save the life of even one child with cancer, then the work and effort of the Foundation and fundraising will be worth it. We know our daughter will be smiling down on us”. Ruby-Rose’s Parents
