Childhood leukemia

Münire Nur Güdücü was diagnosed with deadly leukemia at the age of 12 when she had dreams about competing in the European Taekwondo Championship.

She had to spend months in a hospital room for treatment, which prevented her from participating in the championship.

An atelier in Turkey has for the first time produced organic toys for children with leukemia.

Turkey?s Health Ministry has requested the removal of an advertisement by the Foundation for Children with Leukemia (LÖSEV) that runs on TVs as a public service ad from the country?s media watchdog.
