This year we are fundraising for the Golden Octopus Foundation - supporting children with cancer.
There are eight groups of childhood cancer and the octopus represents those groups.
The Golden Octopus Foundation’s objectives are to improve oncology facilities in all regional areas, including the implementation of childhood cancer nurses. This will alleviate long stays away from families and friends.
Wherever possible the foundation will also offer support to families and a long term objective is to assist families to access trials which may not have been possible previously. They also work closely with other childhood cancer research charities to enable this to happen.
The Golden Octopus Foundation Committee is formed by a group of educated and experienced women who are mothers, relatives or friends of children affected by cancer.
Thank you for helping us raise awareness of childhood cancer.
