This September we shine a spotlight on this devastating disease
Seventy per cent of Australians are unaware that more kids die from cancer than any other disease in this country. With awareness, comes support. Government funding only stretches so far so it is vital the community step up to help fund the scientific research so urgently needed. Read our ideas below or download our Advocate Kit today.
Candlelight vigil at Sydney Opera House
Join us on Saturday 31 August, the eve of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, for a candlelight vigil at the Sydney Opera House Forecort and watch as the sails turn to gold in honour of all children who have been diagnosed with cancer, those currently going through treatment as well as the many who have sadly passed away. You are also invited to submit photos for the digital tribute screen - even if you can't join us in person. For more information, download our FAQ sheet. This event is made possible through the collaboration of Cancer Australia, Children's Cancer Institute, Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation, Sydney Children's Hospital Network and The Kids' Cancer Project.
