Children's Cancer Institute

Our research matters

60 years ago, childhood cancer was a death sentence. Today, 8 out of 10 children will survive. But there is much work to be done.
Medical research is how we will cure all children of cancer.

Worldwide, about 300,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year in children and adolescents.

Cancer kills three children every week in Australia – more than any other disease.

70% of children who survive cancer suffer long-term side effects from their treatment.

86k for a Cure

Join us throughout March and conquer 86km for the 86 children who are diagnosed with cancer every month in Australia.

Every kilometre we walk or run together will be dedicated to funding research to help change the future for kids with cancer.
