Cancer Research

Finding a cure and better ways to treat childhood cancer is of the utmost importance, and to this end we have been involved in funding research into childhood cancer since 1999.

Sydney Children’s Hospital Cancer Research Unit built totally with $1.5M in funds provided by Kids with Cancer
