Chemotherapy is a very daunting experience and a source of comfort is always welcome.
Our daughter was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour and the road ahead was a very uncertain one. āDinoā was such a huge gift as he became her go-to companion for each chemo session. He serves as a friend to which she can talk and a ācuddle buddyā when everything seems so scary.
Thank you for āDinoā

Baby T was diagnosed at three weeks old with an extremely rare form of childhood cancer called Infantile Fibrosarcoma. By the time he was just five weeks old heād had surgery to insert a central line and had already commenced his first round of chemotherapy. On our first night at the childrens hospital in our home state, Baby T received this stuffed dinosaur from The Kids' Cancer Project to help support and comfort him during his stay and beyond.

My son got a bear recently. We're very grateful š

Our little lady was lucky enough to receive one of these bears. She absolutely loves it and it's now her go-to teddy when she has floor time. She loves to chew on the silicone chew toys and shake the flower rattle.
We've named our bear Belinda after the lovely nurse who gave it to her.

My son Parker has received a couple of teddies from The Kids' Cancer Project while receiving his chemotherapy or after waking up from procedures. These treatments are not easy but these special bears give him comfort and gives our family hope as every time we see one we know that we are one step closer to curing cancer.

My daughter was given one of these bears as a baby in hospital ā¤ She's now a happy, healthy five-year-old!

My son had to stay in hospital for a few nights when he was about 11 months old and was given this teddy bear by one of the nurses and he hasnāt slept without it since - it's been eight years now! Our family will be forever grateful for our teddy and how he has helped our little man throughout the years.
- Shannen
Our daughter was given one from the nurses during her stay and the joy, courage and strength it gave her was priceless. They were inseparable. We donated two a few months ago and feel so blessed that it brings a smile through their journey. Please buy a teddy.

This is my granddaughter Ciara with the two teddies she received during her many stays in hospital receiving treatments. She is at home now and thankfully on the mend. It was a tough time seeing her go through this but the whole team have just been amazing. She still loves her bears and will always remember the joy and comfort they brought to her throughout her treatments. Thank you seems so inadequate for the love and care shown to her and our family but thank you. I hope these bears continue to help comfort and bring a smile to kids in hospital.

Hello, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for our beautiful teddy (aka Ted). He has been everywhere with us over the last year and it was only fitting he was in this yearās Christmas photos š. My littlest love received him from Northam Regional Hospital here in WA. I hope these photos bring a smile to your face the way Ted brings a smile to Emmy's. Thank you š
- Amanda Wilson
My husband and I have donated a different bear to a different hospital every month since I was diagnosed with lung cancer in October 2020. It breaks my heart what kids have to go through with cancer š. I have now asked my five grandchildren to choose a bear to donate so weāre ready to donate for the next five months šš¼.
