Donate before 30 June to help children with cancer

“These could have been my last years with my son, Kit, and I was spending them at work.”
– Ben, whose son was diagnosed with leukaemia. 


Kit was an active, curious little boy before his cancer diagnosis.

No parent should ever hear the words, “Your child has cancer.”

But every day in Australia, three more families receive this devastating news.

Please help another family like Kit’s with an urgent, tax-deductible gift today.

When Cancer Turned Their World Upside Down

When Hannah and Ben were told their three-year-old son Kit had leukaemia, their world changed instantly.

Just days earlier, Kit had been a curious, energetic little boy who loved dinosaurs and bugs. But when a fever wouldn’t go away, he was rushed to hospital and quickly diagnosed.

The months that followed were the worst of their lives. Kit became so weak he lost the ability to walk. At one point, his heart rate rose so dangerously his parents feared the worst.

Hannah stopped work to stay by his side. Ben returned to work to support the family—but it meant time away from his son when it mattered most.

With only one income, bills quickly piled up, adding financial stress to an already overwhelming situation.

Please give today to help another family tackle the trauma and financial burden of cancer.
