Our Chosen Charity

As my great-grandfather said’ “we all should leave the world a little better than how we found it”.

My charity is The Kids Cancer Project. 3 Aussie kids are diagnosed with Cancer every day. When a child is diagnosed with cancer there is usually no known cause. Most treatments target all rapidly growing cells (not just cancer cells), and this leads to harsh side-effects, especially in young, growing bodies.

But in 2014 our lives were turned upside down.

Our young teenage son was diagnosed with a bone tumour. The biggest life changing event for my family. So many questions and no answers. Tests, appointments, specialists and eventually, after surgery, it was confirmed he had a benign tumour and was fortunate. During this time we spent many hours with other children and parents deep in their battle.

Hopefully, donations will provide funding to scientists so they can make new discoveries, do research and refine treatments that will improve survival rates for all young people with cancer.

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, medical treatments will benefit from reduced time and cost to develop and improve treatments.

So feel free to follow my lead, donations of all sizes are welcome.
