September shines golden spotlight on childhood cancer

Founder of The Kids’ Cancer Project, former tour coach driver Col Reynolds,  took children on trips from the Children’s Hospital in Westmead while they were undergoing treatment. Now he has an ambition that within the next 25 years, no family will be afraid of the words ‘Your child has cancer’.


“This journey hasn’t stopped,” said Reynolds. “Whilst survival rates have improved, cancer still kills more Australian children, than any other disease, that is not OK. If we can save a child with research, we save a family.”


Throughout September, participants will be urged to wear gold ribbons, cook cupcakes for a cure and turn their social media profiles gold and share “golden moments”  to raise money and awareness for The Kids Cancer Project. Last year more than $300,000 was raised.
