THE KIDS' CANCER PROJECT KICKS OFF THE BETTER CHALLENGE 2022 FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Run, walk or roll 90kms this September for childhood cancer 

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (September), The Kids' Cancer Project is honouring children with cancer and the community supporting them with the return of their annual fundraising campaign, 'The Better Challenge'.

For the month of September, supporters of The Better Challenge will sign up to run, walk or roll 90kms, backed by community fundraising.

The number 90 has been selected to represent the 90 children who are diagnosed with cancer every month in Australia. The cancer treatments children receive can be toxic, leaving them with lasting health issues up to 90% of the time. The Kids' Cancer Project is calling on Aussies to come on board to help create change for all children diagnosed with this devastating disease.

After an incredibly successful inaugural year in 2021, The Kids' Cancer Project aims to double the donations from last year with an ambitious goal of $2,000,000 for children facing childhood cancer and they need the help of fellow Aussies to get there!

CEO of The Kids Cancer Project and ex Wallabies player, Owen Finegan says, "We were overwhelmed with the success and community support for The Better Challenge in 2021 and look forward to smashing our $2 million goal in 2022".

Alongside Aussies across the country, Weekend TODAY presenter Belinda Russell and fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood will be partaking in The Better Challenge this September and encouraging everyone to join them by rallying a group and completing this challenge together.   

With research the only way towards a cure, The Kids' Cancer Project is committed to funding a breadth of scientists and research projects that investigate childhood cancer and treatment options. The Kids' Cancer Project has recently helped fund educational program, 'iBounce' that aims to improve child cancer survivors' health knowledge and encourage them to undertake regular physical activity.
