Childhood brain cancer changes lives in an instant. For children and their families, a diagnosis can bring uncertainty, difficult decisions and a long road of treatment and recovery.
At NRF, we support research that aims to improve our understanding of childhood brain cancer, develop better treatments and help more children live longer, healthier lives.
Through research funding, community support and collaboration with researchers and clinicians, we are working towards a future where children diagnosed with brain cancer have better treatment options and outcomes.
Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Australian children.
Children with brain cancer can face complex treatments, long-term side effects and challenges that continue well beyond their initial diagnosis. Research is essential to understanding these cancers and finding more effective, less harmful treatments.
Your support helps researchers investigate childhood brain cancers, explore new treatment approaches and work towards better outcomes for children and their families.
Together, we can help advance research that makes a difference.
NRF is committed to supporting research that addresses the challenges of childhood brain cancer and contributes to progress in diagnosis, treatment and patient outcomes.
Our funding has supported projects including:
Paediatric Brain Tumour Co-Funding
NRF has committed $20,000 towards paediatric brain tumour co-funding for a Federal Government grant, with a five-year commitment totalling $100,000.
This support contributes to research focused on advancing our understanding of childhood brain tumours and improving the future of children affected by these cancers.
Paediatric Brain Tumour National RCD Foundation Data Project
NRF has provided $100,000 towards the Paediatric Brain Tumour National RCD Foundation Data Project.
Research and data collection are important tools for improving our understanding of childhood brain cancer, supporting collaboration and helping researchers identify opportunities for better treatments and care.
Research relies on the support of people who believe in a better future for children and families affected by brain cancer.
There are several ways you can help NRF continue supporting vital research.
Your donation can help fund research into childhood brain cancer, supporting researchers as they investigate new treatments and work towards better outcomes.
Every contribution helps build the resources needed to continue this important work.
DONATE TO CHILDHOOD BRAIN CANCER RESEARCH
Bring your community, workplace, school or friends together to raise funds for childhood brain cancer research.
From hosting a morning tea to organising your own fundraising challenge, your efforts can help raise awareness and support research that could make a difference to children and their families.
Help raise awareness of childhood brain cancer by sharing information, supporting NRF initiatives or wearing our range of awareness merchandise.
Small actions can help start conversations, increase awareness and encourage more people to support research.
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up and reach their potential.
For families affected by childhood brain cancer, research represents the possibility of better treatments, improved outcomes and more hope for the future.
