Hello!
We’re Richard and David, Peter McCormick’s sons.
We are relatively new trustees of the charity and we have been tasked with creating and updating this website.
We have put together a simple table outlining the costs for the analysis and treatment of a child with Burkitt Lymphoma in the Cameroonian hospitals where BTMAT operates. We hope that this will help you see what a genuine impact every donation we receive can make.

Your support is needed now as much as it ever has been, and these costs show that even a donation of just…
- £5 could provide four Malaria film tests
- £10 could cover the cost of keeping a child in a hospital bed
- £20 could provide blood transfusions or pain killers for a child
- £50 could provide all the antibiotics a child needs.
In the UK, the cost to treat a child with Burkitt Lymphoma is approximately £30,000 (up to £75,000 if the child is sent to the intensive care unit).
For BTMAT in Cameroon, this cost is just £150. Anything you can give will make a real difference – please donate here.
