Calling all children, parents and carers around the world. Do you have a palliative care story to tell?

rainbows3In 2011, ICPCN published Touching Rainbows*, a book that gave a voice to children with life limiting conditions from around the world by allowing them, and those who cared for them, to tell their stories.

These powerful stories gave readers an insight into the reality of having a child with a life limiting illness, the pain of losing a child and the difference children's palliative care services made to both the children and their carers.

The book continues to be an influential advocacy tool that has been used around the world to highlight the need for the integration of children's palliative care into all health care services.
In 2015, the ICPCN will be celebrating 10 years of being the only international charity fighting globally for the rights of life-limited and life-threatened children.

As part of our planned international campaign we would like to gather together as many stories from across the globe as possible which tell the story of children needing and receiving palliative care and how this has impacted positively on their quality of life.
