Making Memories
Cure Our Kids are often asked to fund last minute experiences and weekends away for families with a child who doesn't look like they're going to win their battle with cancer. The best thing we can do for a family in that situation, is to provide them with an environment outside of the home or hospital that gives parents and siblings an opportunity to "make memories" with their sick child that they can hold to forever.

Bravery Bead Program
(per annum)
For a child in the fight against cancer, facing their next treatment is often a very frightening challenge. So, to reward them for their immense courage, Cure Our Kids has initiated an innovative concept – Bravery Beads. When a new child arrives at the cancer unit, they are given a set of beads spelling their name and featuring a sterling silver 'Bravery Ring'. Each time the child undergoes a treatment, he or she is presented with an additional amulet as proof and prize for staying in the fight. The children wear their beads with pride. We are currently running this program in paediatric hospitals and wards at Westmead, Regional NSW, Adelaide & Perth.

Music Therapy Program
(per annum)
We are looking for a generous company or individual to sponsor the salary of a part time Music Therapist. The music therapy program is a favourite among many kids on the ward. These uplifting sessions give kids the opportunity to tune their thoughts away from their illness and be absorbed in the healing power of music. This program has seen many patients write and record their own original music – an accomplishment that instils pride and self-confidence. Cure Our Kids funds two part-time Music Therapists exclusively for children undergoing cancer treatment.
