HISTIO UK – In it Together

In it Together

We are incredibly pleased to announce that Histio UK have been successful in our application to the National Lottery Community Fund. The fund has awarded Histio UK the sum of £36, 560 for our Histio Communities Project: Histio Connect – Let’s Talk – an inclusive online discussion platform for each of the different Histiocytic disorders.

The platform will provide our “Histio Champions” the opportunity to chat, share their voices, their stories, achievements and memories enabling the opportunity to raise awareness, inspire others, learn more about other parents, patients, families, supporters, and volunteers who shape this rare community.
Our thanks to all our Histio Community Champions and HM Government for making this possible.

No-one should die of Histiocytosis.

Despite the misery it causes, histiocytosis is too rare a disease to have generated substantial research in medical circles. Unfortunately, for every child or adult fighting for his or her life, the pain and suffering are just as severe for children and adults afflicted with other better known disorders receiving funding. For the children and adults battling these illnesses, there is now reason to hope. To ensure the research and information support work continues, we ask for your help, to complete the funding puzzle.
