The Leonora Children's Cancer Fund was a British registered charity that was registered on 14 September 1994. It was, until 11 March 2010, registered charity number 1040757, when it was removed from the register. The charity provided specially trained nurses to help look after children with cancer.
The Fund was established by Lord and Lady Romsey, in memory of their daughter Leonora Knatchbull, who died, aged five, from a kidney tumour in 1991.
The Duke of Edinburgh attended a reception, in aid of the charity, on 3 May 1994.
Famous quotes containing the words children, cancer and/or fund:
“We do not raise our children alone.... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“The same people who tell us that smoking doesn’t cause cancer are now telling us that advertising cigarettes doesn’t cause smoking.”

“I am advised that there is an unexpended balance of about $45,000 of the fund appropriated for the relief of the sufferers by flood upon the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and I recommend that authority be given to use this fund to meet the most urgent necessities of the poorer people in Oklahoma.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
