On 28 July 2021, Mrs Edith Laber from Schaafheim came to Frankfurt together with her daughter and son-in-law to present us with a donation of 1,000 euros. This generous donation was made in the spirit of her husband Horst Laber, who passed away in May.

Three years ago, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Horst Laber had asked for a donation for the children suffering from cancer instead of presents. A proud 1,200 Euros were collected at that time.

We would like to thank Mrs. Laber from the bottom of our hearts for this touching gesture to once again support the important research work at our centre in memory of her husband.

“No matter how bad the times may be, one must not disregard the important things in life”. With this conviction, Volker Bertaloth from Ober-Ramstadt presented a donation of 500 euros to our Managing Director Marcus Klüssendorf on 23 March 2021. It is a matter of the heart for Volker Bertaloth and his family to support the research work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer, even in the current stressful overall situation.
For this wonderful commitment we say a heartfelt THANK YOU!

Since 2014, the Arnold GmbH company has been supporting the important research work of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. In previous years, we received a donation amount corresponding to the year in each case. This is not possible this year due to the current situation. However, from the point of view of Managing Director Markus Bernsteiner, a donation still had to be made. And so we were able to receive a magnificent 1,111 euros on 16.12.2020.

A heartfelt THANK YOU for this wonderful gesture and for many years of loyalty.

This year, the company SINTRONICS GmbH from Schöneck has once again made a great donation to us. With 3,000 Euros they support the important research work in the field of cancer in children and adolescents.

A big thank you for this great commitment.
Dr. Constanze Schneider received the award for her scientific work on “SAMHD1 is a biomarker for cytarabine response and a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia”, which was published in the journal “Nature Medicine”.

Until now, in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) it was not possible to predict which patients would respond to standard chemotherapy with cytarabine. With SAMHD1, a new biomarker was discovered that can be used to identify patients who respond to chemotherapy with a high degree of accuracy.

On 6 December 2020, mulled wine, hot cider and organic juice, as well as lard bread and goose fat, were served at the Nidda-Kampfbahn restaurant for a good cause. The demand was so great that Mary Massieu, accompanied by a moose and reindeer, was able to bring us a proud 600 euros donation for our foundation.

We would like to thank all the people who supported this campaign. Another big thank you goes to the landlord Holger Hauke, who made this amount possible with his top-up, and to Mary Massieu, who always organises great fundraising events for us.

We were delighted to welcome Nicole Pilsel and Marina Schloßnagel from the Frankfurt roofing company Hans Jürgen Meseth GmbH to our research house on 9 December 2020. Not only did they show great interest in the important research work at the Dr. Petra Joh-Haus, but they also had a donation of 2,500 euros in their luggage.
With this year’s Christmas fundraising campaign, Meseth GmbH wanted to support an organisation in Frankfurt that helps children and young people. They came across the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer on the internet and it was immediately clear: “That’s where our donation should go”.
We sincerely thank them for this great support.
