With their expertise, we will be able to ensure we fund the most promising meaningful research in line with our mission; developing better, safer and kinder treatments so all children diagnosed with neuroblastoma get the chance to grow up and lead a long and healthy life.

    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.
