Welcome to the Kids Cancer Support Group Fundraising Page for BulldustNBack 2022!
Richard Nell, the KCSG President and the amazing team of Dads taking part in Bulldust sadly know first-hand how essential our support services are. They have all had a child who has been diagnosed with cancer. Some, heartbreakingly, have lost a child to cancer. They take part in Bulldust and Back for their brave children and for others who walk the same path. They are fundraising because they understand how much it makes a difference.
We are so grateful for your help in supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer. Our committee here at KCSG are passionately driven and committed to supporting the children and families in our community and for good reason. We have all had a child who has been diagnosed with cancer too and we know how much community and peer to peer support is needed. We get it. We understand better than anyone where those funds are needed, how much they are needed and the big impact they could have. We understand particularly the value of peer to peer support.
Richard, alongside an incredibly passionate committee, dedicate their time to making a difference for other families. They believe wholeheartedly in KCSG, in connecting, supporting and enriching the lives of children and families in WA. They understand the positive impact the charity has on the childhood cancer community on the children's oncology ward at Perth children's Hospital (PCH) and throughout WA. They understand and acknowledge the huge gap and need for more services. Your donations couldn't be in better hands and will go exactly where they are needed.
A little about KCSG....
Kids Cancer Support Group is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to connecting, supporting and enriching the lives of children diagnosed with cancer and other blood disorders at Perth’s Children’s Hospital. We are an NGO approved charity and actively support families on and off the ward.
We are a local Perth based charity run by parents/caregivers and receive no government funding.
We provide tailored, practical and peer to peer support that meets the specific needs of the families. Our support is all encompassing. We are inclusive of the whole family starting at diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond.
We hold events on and off the ward for families, provide food and fuel vouchers, pizza nights for the kids on the ward, seasonal events for kids in hospital including Halloween, Easter, Christmas activities and movie nights. KCSG stock the kitchen on the ward so families have access to food and good coffee and don't need to leave their child's bedside. We provide arts and crafts for the ward and our weekly Galdiators Toy Trolleys and essential items rounds are a huge hit with the kids. KCSG gift bags are individualised bags of toys and crafts for the children who are doing it tough. We hold our annual 'KCSG Santa photos' for the immune compromised kids who are unable to visit Santa in shopping centres.
Beyond treatment we provide ongoing practical and emotional support for families. We hold events for Mums, Dads, teens, Grandparents, Sundowners, Comedy nights and coffee mornings. We provide counselling support for bereaved siblings and ongoing emotional support for families who have lost a child.
Our much loved KCSG house provides families and kids with a safe place to visit, a place to find support and information and connect with other families. It's a home away from home and a refuge, somewhere to drop in for a cuppa and chat with someone who really 'gets it'.
We do much more but there is so much more we would love to do with your help!
All the dads on our KCSG Bulldust n Back team are oncology dads who have had a child diagnosed with cancer. You can sponsor us and leave a message for the dads by selecting the donate button with the knowledge that 100% of your donation will go towards supporting families where it is needed most.
Thank you for supporting us and WA kids impacted by cancer! It really will make the BIGGEST difference to our community x
Great cause and well done
