Current projects

We support leading research projects in key research institutes and organisations across Australia. 

With the advice of our Scientific Advisory Board, Neuroblastoma Australia is able to fund a range of research projects.  Every two to three years, depending on fundraising success of events such as Run2Cure, we seek grant applications from scientists who are passionate about finding kinder and more effective treatments for children diagnosed with neuroblastoma. 

The most recent grant round was in 2022, we therefore expect the next grant round to take place in either 2024 or 2025.

    Little Eadie’s Shave for Childhood Cancer

    We are fundraising for Neuroblastoma Australia in memory of beautiful Georgia Fletcher. This gorgeous young girl lost her battle with Neuroblastoma at the age of 9. Childhood cancer needs a light shone upon it and there is no greater light than beautiful Georgia. In her memory we will be aiming to raise much needed funds to develop new and less harmful treatments of childhood cancer. We also aim to support families currently facing a childhood cancer diagnosis.
