Chester’s Chance

We’re changing the narrative around childhood cancer. It isn’t something rare or distant, it’s here, affecting children and families every day. It deserves to be seen, spoken about and supported.

Chester’s Chance is dedicated to supporting children and families connected to the Haematology Ward at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, while honouring the life and legacy of Chester Byrne, forever two. Inspired by Chester’s strength, courage, and the joy he brought to those around him, we provide hope, comfort, and meaningful support through thoughtful gifts, financial assistance, family experiences, bereavement support, educational resources, and community initiatives.

Our mission is to ease the emotional and financial challenges faced by children undergoing treatment and their families, create lasting memories, foster community connections, and ensure that no family feels alone during their journey. Through every act of kindness, every smile created, and every family supported, Chester’s legacy continues to make a difference.
