Every week nearly three Australian children and adolescents will die of cancer. That is the reason that the Children’s Cancer Institute exists. Our mission is to cure childhood cancer and move even closer to a future free from childhood cancer. As the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer, we know we will get there. It’s children like Kayne and Ellie, who before even turning two-years-old had to battle cancer, that inspire us to keep searching for better, safer treatments so no child should have to suffer. New technology is enabling us to work faster and smarter than ever before. Geneticists, clinicians, researchers and data analysts are joining forces in ways that were impossible just a few years ago, under programs you have helped to make happen. Public support is vital for institutions like ours. With it, we can invest in the teams and technology that will propel our ideas from theory into action. These actions can ultimately lead to saving children’s lives. With the support of Australia, we know that we can help change the lives for children with cancer. It’s not if, it’s when.
