A life
should
be long.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, help accelerate the research giving children the chance of longer, healthier lives.

When you donate today, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar*.

MATCHED GIVING will apply for a limited time. All donations will be DOUBLED (up to $25K) thanks to a generous supporter. DONATE TODAY!

Every child deserves the chance to grow up, grow old and live a long, healthy life.

To learn how to drive. 

To celebrate their fifth birthday. 

To see their favourite band live. 

But every year, more than 1,000 children and young people in Australia are diagnosed with cancer. For families facing childhood cancer, these milestones can feel uncertain, fragile or impossibly far away. 

At Children's Cancer Institute, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience these moments and all the possibilities that come after them. 

That's why we're pioneering research that is helping children not just survive cancer, but live healthier lives beyond it. 

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, help accelerate the research giving children the chance of longer, healthier lives. 

Donate today and double your impact.

*Up to $1000 per single donation will be doubled until the $25,000 matching fund is exhausted. Matching applies to online donations made to our Childhood Cancer Awareness Month campaign until 30 September 2026. Donations received after the offer ends will be processed as normal.

A life should be long.

Long enough to celebrate a 5th birthday

When Ryder was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour at just 10 months old, his family faced an uncertain future. Today, Ryder is a happy, energetic five-year-old making up for lost time and celebrating milestones.

Long enough to learn to drive

When Maria was diagnosed with cancer as a baby, her family didn't know if she would survive. Today, she's learning to drive and planning for the future.

Long enough to see your favourite band live 

For years, Wyatt dreamed of seeing his favourite band, 5ive, in concert. After enduring cancer treatment, he recently got to experience that special moment he'd been waiting for.

These moments are possible because of decades of research and the supporters who make that research possible. 

For decades, research has transformed outcomes for children with cancer. But there’s still more to do to ensure every child can survive. Help us accelerate research that is more personalised, more precise and more effective. Every breakthrough starts with research. And every research project starts with people like you.
