KIDS HELPING KIDS

Madeline from Newstead, TAS, hosted an online auction in support of her son Alfred who was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma in 2020, and raised a whopping $57,000! Since then, Alfred has organised dress-up days at school to raise more money to help donate The Kids’ Cancer Project bears to kids at Launceston Hospital. Thank you both!

LOSE YOUR LOCKS

Year 12 student Hamish from Margate, TAS, said goodbye to his luscious locks after seeing a Lose Your Locks ad on Facebook and having had family members go through cancer treatment. To raise extra funds, his mates helped him host a cupcake sale at school, in total raising over $2,000 – the new look suits you, Hamish.
