Get involved and help Queenslanders living with cancer by volunteering. Volunteers are the heart of our organisation. Join us to make a greater impact and connect with like-minded people.
Every contribution helps support those living with cancer. Whether a one-off donation or monthly gift, your support ensures funding stability for long-term goals and future generations.
Leave a legacy by including a gift in your Will, starting a tribute page for a loved one, or funding a research grant for early-career cancer researchers driving clinical innovations.
Organise a fundraising event in your community, either as a team or an individual. You can join one of our existing fundraising events or you might like to come up with your own way.
When organisations work together, we can have a greater impact for every Queenslander going through cancer and help amplify our message for all Australians.
However you get involved, you’re making a direct impact on the lives of Queenslanders affected by cancer. See the results of what we’ve all achieved.
Childhood cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, often affecting fast-growing tissues like the blood, bone marrow, and nervous system. It is different from adult cancer and is nobody’s fault. Importantly, most children diagnosed with cancer are treated successfully and go on to live fulfilling lives.
Receiving a childhood cancer diagnosis can be scary, confusing, and overwhelming for your child, family, and community. Feeling shocked and anxious are expected emotions when your child receives a cancer diagnosis. Understanding the disease and knowing what to expect will help you manage some of these feelings and navigate cancer with your child.
