This website was created to enable parents and families whose children have been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma to access a new booklet about the condition. The booklet was written by Dianne Haley whose daughter Claire was diagnosed and treated for rhabdomyosarcoma in 2004/05 at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.

Dr Jon Pritchard, Dr Hamish Wallace, Sister Caroline Rose and the wider team at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh provided professional medical advice for the booklet.
