Beads of Courage

Collectively, New Zealand children undergo a total of 100,000 cancer treatments and procedures each year.

Beads of Courage is a therapeutic programme that recognises a child's strength and resilience. Each bead represents a specific treatment, procedure or milestone. The beads are a meaningful and tangible acknowledgment of a child's cancer journey. They allow us to celebrate the courage of our Kiwi kids.

Please text 'bead' to 206 to make a $3 donation.
