We're delighted to welcome Emily Riggs as our newest ambassador for the Childhood Cancer Association. Emily knows first-hand the challenges of a childhood cancer diagnosis after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was 10 years old.
Adelaide United invited us to be part of its Game Day Double Header at Coopers Stadium on 17 March 2023, for both the A-League and W-League, which also saw some of the children we support having the opportunity to kick a ball on the pitch at half-time with our mascot, Elliot.
When a trip to the GP ends up with tests at the Women's and Children's Hospital, followed by a cancer diagnosis. A family is often in shock and without the necessities for an unexpected hospital stay. That's where the Childhood Cancer Association can help, from the very beginning, by gifting a Hospital Support Pack.
Families were treated a special event where they could experience the magic of the Adelaide Zoo when the gates were closed, thanks to a special invitation from our partner, Clinpath Pathology.
It was the most spectacular Christmas extravaganza when Edge Church hosted our Childhood Cancer Family Christmas Fair once again in 2022, and created a magical day which our families will remember forever.
