THANK YOU!!

We’re absolutely delighted and so very privileged to once again have the support of Clear Channel UK, backing our 2024 national awareness campaign to get Kawasaki Disease known…..!

About Clear Channel

Clear Channel UK is one of the UK’s leading Out of Home media and infrastructure companies. As well as being a Platform for Brands, they provide a Platform for Good to positively impact the world around us and support good causes – like ours. We’re so proud to count Clear Channel as a deeply valued partner – making a massive change for good, for our children.

Getting Kawasaki Disease “on the radar” of thousands of people, is what this simply phenomenal support will achieve.

Their connection with our cause….

Far too many children suffer the most serious harm from Kawasaki Disease when the illness is first misdiagnosed, and treatment comes too late. The impact? Life long, and sometime life threatening heart damage.

Thanks to the powerful visibility Clear Channel are bringing, we’re getting Kawasaki Disease known. We’re helping to make sure parents can spot  it, so they can can advocate for their children. By getting it known, more doctors will able to diagnose it sooner and be ready to treat it quicker.

By getting it known, we are helping to stop serious heart damage – for all our children.

Clear Channel’s incredible gesture, enabling a simply massive outdoor advertising campaign for 12 days throughout January across England, Wales and Scotland – means Kawasaki Disease will be on the radar of thousands more people.

Our sincere thanks to Clear Channel

Generous support from Clear Channel is a “game changer” for EVERY child who will be affected by Kawasaki Disease this year. And that’s over a thousand children in the UK in 2024 alone. This campaign WILL save lives and it WILL protect our children’s precious hearts.

A huge thank you to our wonderful partners at Clear Channel. Thank you for using your #platformforgood for our children. Thank you for putting your scale and reach behind our cause and making a transformational change. We just **couldn’t** achieve this without you.
