Supporting kids' with cancer

Survival starts with science

Associate Professor Rishi Kotecha is currently carrying out an exciting five-year clinical trial across multiple medical institutions. The trial, called Interfant-21, stands to revolutionise the standard treatment for high-risk children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

The Kids’ Cancer Project has provided incredible longstanding support for my preclinical research, which has focused on improving the dismal outcome for infants diagnosed under one year of age with ALL. The funding has been vital to building a pre-clinical testing pipeline where my team and I have tested promising new drugs on unique models of the disease.

Your support today is vital in helping support pioneering research trials such as the Interfant-21 project. By making a gift today, you could help ensure future trials have the resources they need to develop more effective treatments with fewer negative side-effects.

Roxy's story

In just five hours, four-year-old Roxy went from a routine visit to the dentist to being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). 18 months on, and with Roxy on the road to recovery, mum Bec tells their story and just how important your gifts are in helping other kids like Roxy.

Message from the CEO

Owen Finegan reflected on a successful year at The Kids’ Cancer Project despite many challenges.

A sense of community and belonging is what we all thrive for. What I love about my role, this charity, and the community we represent, is that everyone wants to make a difference, have an impact and change the statistics of childhood cancer.

My promise is to never give up until every child survives cancer with minimal or no long term effects.
