International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) and media partner OncoDaily have co-hosted the Second Global OncoThon, a 24-hour virtual event raising funds and awareness for paediatric cancer research. Despite being one of the leading causes of childhood death, paediatric cancer continues to receive far less funding than adult cancers, limiting treatment options for children.

With nearly half a million new cases diagnosed annually, the OncoThon serves as a powerful reminder of the critical gap in pediatric cancer care. This event brings together individuals, organizations, and communities to share stories, take action, and advocate for change.

Princess Dina Mired (Patron of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) and Honorary President of the EORTC) kicked off the Donation Challenge during the Second Global OncoThon. She challenged everyone to donate 10$ and pass the challenge to friends who can carry on the challenge. Her initiative is designed to harness the power of social networks to raise more funds for pediatric cancer research.

“Together let’s make this OncoThon not just a moment, but a movement!”
