Connecting with others

As a charity formed by families affected by neuroblastoma, we understand that as the disease is so rare, often families are at risk of feeling isolated. We are committed to providing opportunities for neuroblastoma families to connect with each other through our events and online platforms. 

If you would like us to connect you to another family please email us at [email protected] 

Neuroblastoma Families Support Group

If you would like a safe place to connect with other neuroblastoma families, you can join our Closed Neuroblastoma Family group please visit our Facebook Page.

Sharing stories

Each journey is different and sharing your story may well help the next family in theirs.

We have a new share your story area to make sharing your journey easier. Visit our family stories to get to know some of our other incredible neuroblastoma families.

Neuroblastoma events

We support community events around Australia as well as Sienna’s Gala Dinner in February and Run2Cure Neuroblastoma fun run and family day out in Sydney’s Domain on 6 September 2020.

These are wonderful opportunities for our families to come together and build supportive relationships. 

‘All of our family and friends who could be there on the day felt such a buzz and still talk about Sunday as though reminiscing of a party. Through the darkness of Neuroblastoma, you have found a way to celebrate families at Run2Cure. What an inspiring and uplifting atmosphere you and your team created.’ Katharine, Ben’s MumVisit our events area for details of event program or more information on how you can organise your own community event.

  • Detection, diagnosis & staging

    Detection, diagnosis & staging

    Most symptoms of neuroblastoma are caused by the growth of the cancer into nearby tissues or organs, or its spread to distant parts of the body such as bones or bone marrow.

  • What is neuroblastoma?

    Neuroblastomas are cancers that start in early nerve cells (called neuroblasts) of the sympathetic nervous system. This means that tumours can be found anywhere along this system; most commonly (about 50%) start in the adrenal glands (above the kidney), or near the spine, chest, neck or pelvis.
