Take Part in an Event
One of the exciting ways you can get involved with helping kids with cancer is to participate in any of our events. We have some great ways for families to get involved.
Surviving childhood cancer is not enough
Around 1,270 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer each year in Australia. Survival rates have improved — but 4 in 5 survivors live with long-term physical, psychological, or social impacts.
Survival is only one part of the story.
For many children, what comes after treatment affects their health, learning, development, and wellbeing for years to come.
This is the part most people don’t see.
When treatment ends, families are expected to return to “normal” — but the reality is far more complex.
For over 40 years, the Child Cancer Research Foundation has helped improve survival through research.
Now, we’re focused on what comes next — funding safer treatments and better support so children don’t just survive but have the chance to live well.
