Stars of Courage

The Child Cancer Foundation has launched a unique new Stars of Courage programme which will see each child diagnosed with cancer in New Zealand offered a dedicated star.  Each child will be presented with a certificate showing their special star’s coordinates in the sky as well as information on its constellation or grouping.

Help brave children with cancer and purchase them a star!
