This MRI Giving Day, help accelerate the research that will cure every child of cancer
Every child deserves the chance to grow up, grow old and live a long healthy life.
Every year, more than 1,000 children and young people in Australia are diagnosed with cancer, and three young lives are lost every week.
While survival rates have improved, too many children still die, and many survivors face lifelong side effects from treatment.
Every breakthrough in childhood cancer treatment exists because research made it possible.
Today's children are benefiting from discoveries made possible by supporters who invested in research years ago. Now we're pioneering the next generation of treatments: more personalised, precise and effective than ever before.
This MRI Giving Day, Australians are coming together to accelerate life-saving research. By supporting Children's Cancer Institute, you're helping fund breakthroughs that give children the chance of a longer, healthier future.
Because every long life begins with research. And every supporter helps make that research possible.
You can make a gift at any time as we lead up to the Medical Research Giving Day on 9 September.
Your donation accelerates breakthroughs for children like Scout
When Scout was just weeks old, she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour. Surgery and chemotherapy failed to stop her cancer from growing, but researchers were able to identify a genetic mutation driving her tumour and matched it to a targeted treatment. Within weeks, Scout's condition began to improve, and scans showed her tumour had shrunk by 30%. Today, that treatment continues to keep her cancer at bay – giving Scout the chance to simply be a happy little girl. Your support helps accelerate life-changing discoveries like these, bringing more personalised treatments and more hope to children with cancer.
