Saving Children in Australia. The moment you learn your child has cancer is, quite literally breathtaking. It is also the moment the word cancer becomes central to everyday life for families of approx. 800 Australia children each year.
While advances in cancer treatment have saved many of these children, they haven’t been able to save them all. To give kids a better chance at living long and healthy lives, Lions Clubs International Foundation and the Australia Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation have committed US$3.2 million for genome sequencing. Funds will enable Garvan Institute of Medical Research to sequence the unique genomes of 400 children with aggressive forms of cancer and helf doctors create precision treatment plans.
If you’d like to hear more about our local Lions Clubs working on Childhood Cancer projects and a variety of other causes impacting our community, please get in touch.
