The Child Cancer Foundation believes that no child suffering from cancer, or their family, should ever feel alone. We provide ongoing practical, emotional and financial assistance to children, and their families, whose lives have been changed forever by this life threatening disease. We also support the health professionals that treat children with cancer and invest in research into the late effects of the disease.
