About 'Vicky's DreamVicky's dream is a foundation that raises funds for research projects against childhood cancer. Every year 1,500 children are diagnosed in our country, of which 1 in 3 die. Specifically, it is the leading cause of death in children between 2 and 16 years of age. Despite these figures, it is considered a rare disease and therefore hardly any public funds are allocated for its financing.
Vicky's dream is driven by the motto "Children with cancer do not need miracles, they need research" The foundation assures that " research is the only way to save lives. Moreover, through it we can assure the children, once they have finished their treatment, a good quality of life".
