Giving kids a real second chance after cancer
The WA Comprehensive Kids Cancer Centre: Giving hope and strength to children with cancer.
From pioneering immunotherapy to innovative surgical treatments, WA scientists are using world-class research to transform outcomes for kids with cancer.
One of WA’s biggest ever philanthropic gifts will transform childhood cancer research and treatment by improving outcomes for children with cancer and discovering more effective and less toxic treatments.
The Stan Perron Charitable Foundation will contribute $135.5 million over the next decade to the multi-partner collaboration, which will build on the significant work already being undertaken by Perth Children’s Hospital and The Kids.
Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF) will also make a multi-million-dollar contribution over the next five years with an option to extend and The University of Western Australia will add up to $9 million over 10 years to help improve the lives of kids impacted by cancer in WA and across the globe.
Ultimately, we want to defeat childhood cancer whilst reducing the devastating side effects that kids endure today. In this video, SPCF Chair Elizabeth Perron and cancer researcher and oncologist Professor NickGottardo talk about why this work matters and what it means for families.
