Supporting the Child Cancer Foundation
11 March 2022
‘We are there, every step of the way’
Finding out your child has cancer turns your life upside down. It happens to more than 3 Kiwi families every week, and none of them ever thought it would happen to their child. For over 40 years, the Child Cancer Foundation has stood by their principle of ensuring every family going through childhood cancer in New Zealand has someone there to support them at a time when they need it most. No families’ experiences are the same, and neither is the support they need, so that’s why the Child Cancer Foundation provides personalised support to families in 5 main areas: building resilience, social connection, emotional wellbeing, practical support, and moving forward.
Child Cancer Foundation’s 2022 street appeal, which is their biggest fundraising event, was cancelled due to Covid-19, so we wanted to help them and the 369 Kiwi kids fighting cancer.
