Thanks to supporters like you, every day our research is getting us closer to one day being able to cure every child. Children just like Brydee (pictured).
Brydee was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was just 5 months old. She is now 3 years old & doing really well 😊

These incredible cyclists are 264km into their 358km ride from Townsville to Cairns, helping to raise funds and awareness to help cure childhood cancer. Without their drive and support, we wouldn't be able to do our vital research. See you at the finish line! @townsvilletocairnsbikeride #20years #curingchildhoodcancer #itsnotifitswhen #research #childrenscancerinstitute

So proud of one of our very own researchers, Helen Forgham, who was featured on ABC National Radio explaining our nanomedicine research & how new nano tech could improve cancer treatment for children.

Lily Hester was just 8 when she was diagnosed with an extremely rare liver cancer that sadly took her life in August 2014. LIVE for LILY was set-up in Lily's memory & has been raising vital funds for our research ever since.
We have been blown away by their incredible fundraising & awareness efforts for our research - they have now raised over $500,000 for us in the last two years alone! We can't thank you enough - it is thanks to all our supporters just like your team that mean everyday we are getting closer to one day curing every child.

No child should be counting down how many chemo treatments they have left to go. But Kayne had to, because of brain cancer: bit.ly/Kaynes-Story

This weekend we celebrate and thank: The seasoned-pro mums. The new mums. The mums who have a child that is unwell. The mums who have lost a child.... The women who yearn to be a mum. The pregnant mums. The mums who are sharing their childhood cancer journey to help our research find the cure, just like Sasha. And all the mums in between. Happy Mother's Day <3
--- We are privileged to share on our blog the words of this incredible mum Sasha (pictured) who will be spending her first Mother's Day without her son. Byron sadly passed away from Neuroblastoma on the 12th August 2017 aged just 2 years old. Read Sasha's beautiful words: bit.ly/Mothers-Day-Byron

There IS already a cure for cancer there has been since God created this world, it's NOT a drug and has NO side affects Canibus oil and many many others are only a click away so stop trying to grab at people's money that does NOTHING to help anyone. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are nothing but carcinogen ingredients that cause more cancer.
