A life
should
be long.

This International Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month, donate today and
help us cure every child of cancer.

Every child should get the chance to grow up and grow old. To plan exciting futures, chase their dreams, and live a life that is full of possibilities. 

But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year. In Australia alone, every week, three young lives will be lost to the disease.

For 40 years, Children’s Cancer Institute has been conducting research into the causes, prevention and cure of childhood cancer. We’ve made great progress, but we won’t stop until every child can live a long, happy and healthy life.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month support the research that will one day cure every child of cancer.

A life should be long.

Lola was a happy baby who fitted right in as the third of three kids. But before she reached her first birthday, she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain cancer called ETMR.

Despite intensive chemotherapy, treatment options were very limited and ultimately ineffective.

Lola passed away peacefully in her home. She was four months shy of her second birthday.

If you share the belief that a life should be long, join us this September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, to support the research that will one day cure every child of cancer.

Donate today

“We want to cure cancer. We want to be a part of that. We can’t save Lola, but we just want to be able to help in some way, in her memory.”

- Naomi, Lola's mum
