Cancer is the largest killer of children
from disease in Australia and second behind breast cancer in terms of life
years lost.
Even though eight out of ten children survive, 625 kids are still diagnosed with cancer every year in Australia and each week nearly three lose their battle to this disease.
Everything possible needs to be done to help eradicate this disease.

Children’s
Cancer Institute have just kicked off a major campaign called Build
for a Cure, which has been designed to spread the word about childhood cancer and raise vital
funds to cure it
Build for a Cure will see a home in
Sydney’s west built and fully furnished within 21 days. The home will then be
sold and all proceeds go towards funding vital research to help fund a
cure to childhood cancer.
Check out a video from day four of the build.
Build
for a Cure is supported by Freedom, Electrolux and Panasonic to
name a few, with The Block’s Scott Cam heading up the project. Scott is joined by Freedom ambassador, Jason Grant as well as fan
favourites and winners of The Block’s 2012 season, Brad and Lara Cranfield.
We can follow the Build for a Cure journey
and donate at www.buildforacure.org.au,
or perhaps consider buying a $2 token at participating Big W’s throughout September and Woolworths
Petrol Stations throughout October.
Oh and of course for anyone in the market for a new home - this gorgeous build will be up for grabs!
