We're saying K'day to a better tomorrow for kids with cancer.

K’day, which stands for Kids’ Day, is The Kids’ Cancer Project’s annual double donation day, raising awareness and vital funds for childhood cancer research.

Held on 15 February, International Childhood Cancer Day, we replace the Aussie favourite G’day with K’day in recognition of the 950 kids diagnosed with cancer every year in Australia and the need to create better treatments for them.

On K’day any donation made, is doubled by our generous matching partners.

Say K'day and donate today

Where the funds go

Rachel is The Kids’ Cancer Project’s research ambassador for K’day in 2025. Her dream is much like ours – for no child to die from cancer.

Rachel this year became a Col Reynolds Fellow, with The Kids’ Cancer Project committed to funding her research. Her research centres around integrating patient-reported outcome measures, or PROMs, into clinical practice to enhance symptom assessment and management for children undergoing BMT.

“I'm hopeful that through my research children will eventually have a voice. I'm hoping it will help with communication between the child and the parent, and when implemented, between the family, child, and healthcare team looking after them.”
