September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to acknowledge the extraordinary impact that cancer has on children, their families and the community.
At Children’s Cancer Institute we believe a life should be long. That every child should get the chance to grow up, grow old, plan exciting futures and live a life that is full of possibilities.
But sadly, cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year. In Australia alone, more than 1000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year. And every week, three young lives will be lost to the disease.
For 40 years, we have been conducting research into the causes, prevention and cure of childhood cancer. In the 1960s cancer was practically a death sentence in children, but today, more than eight out of 10 children will survive their disease. This progress is largely thanks to research and loyal supporters who believe a life should be long.
Today our vision remains the same, to save the lives of all children with cancer and improve their long-term health, through research. We won’t stop until every child can live a long, happy and healthy life.
We encourage you to join us this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness and support our research. Please see below how you can support.
