Christian Blandford has been through cancer twice. He had a clear cell sarcoma of the kidney in 2004 and it relapsed in late 2006 in a bone in his leg. He is currently in remission and is doing well. The aim of the Christian Blandford fund is to raise money for hospitals where sick children are treated. Our aim is to improve the comfort of children and their families during prolonged visits to their local hospitals, particularly for those families affected by cancer.More here.
