We're wearing our footy colours for kids with cancer!
Every year more than 950 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in Australia. With treatment starting instantly they face, on average, more than 6 months away from their school and school friends.
This year, we're taking part in Fight Cancer Foundation's Footy Colours Day to help these kids!
All the money we raise will help the Fight Cancer Foundation to provide accomodation and support for cancer patients and their families and fund vital life-saving research into cancer treatment and cures.
The accommodation centres offer families living with cancer a home away from home when they need it most, reducing the financial and emotional burden of a cancer diagnosis.
Please donate what you can and help make a difference to the lives of kids with cancer!
A cause quite close to me, likely as with many others. I lost my cousin who was like an older brother to me, to bowel cancer when I was 17 back in 2016. Daniel was just 30 years old, very fit and healthy farmer, had gotten married just six months before passing away and was diagnosed shortly after the wedding, unfortunately Daniel passed away less than two weeks before the birth of his first child, a son named Bailey, this in April of 2016. While Daniel wasn't a child, it still completely rocked our family, and our entire little home town of Carnamah for a long time and still does. I could only imagine how much harder it would be to have a child going through a cancer battle.
