Our deepest sympathies

We received some very sad news about the death of Marie Purcell, who worked with us from 2012 until June 2022.

Marie will be sadly missed by our team and the wider Child Cancer Foundation community, many of whom worked alongside Marie in her role as GM Family Support Services. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends at this time.

Help us make a lasting difference

Support ground-breaking childhood cancer research.

Lucca Holecliffe was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in 2016. At the time, Lucca’s parents were told that her cancer was unlikely to respond to traditional chemotherapy and radiation. However, thanks to a ground-breaking research study jointly funded by Child Cancer Foundation, the Precision Paediatric Cancer Project, Lucca got a second chance at life. Find out more.

With your help, Child Cancer Foundation can fund more research to support the ongoing improvement of cancer treatment available to Kiwi children like Lucca.

COVID-19 update for whānau

We have made some changes to our COVID-19 policy in line with the current environment in Aotearoa.

Our Family Support team is able to visit families in their homes throughout the country, provided the family is comfortable for them to do so. The health and safety of the children and families we support is our biggest priority, so all staff members will be taking a cautious approach in regards to their own health to minimise any risk.

Our Christchurch team is able to visit CHOC to provide support to parents whose child is an inpatient. Our Auckland team is still not allowed access to Starship, so the Auckland Family Place is open by arrangement as a space for families to meet with a member of our team in person.
