Message<br />

from<br />

<strong>The</strong> CEO<br />

What an amazing several weeks it’s been!<br />

In the lead up to the City2Surf, the office was literally abuzz with phone calls<br />

and emails from current supporters and new fans alike registering to be part of<br />

this world famous event. It was so pleasing to see the sponsorships and donations<br />

come flooding in too!<br />

I won’t go into too much detail about City2Surf, as this special edition of <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Cure</strong> features a whole section dedicated to this amazing event. But it would be<br />

remiss of me not to mention that WE DID IT! We not only reached, but exceeded<br />

our $100k target by a good $20+K, to secure the title of the 2009 City2Surf’s<br />

number one fundraiser! And we did it because of your support, so a tremendous<br />

thank you to everyone who pitched in.<br />

While our feet may still be tired, we’re by no means resting on our laurels in<br />

the wake of our success – it’s all guns blazing in preparation for our inaugural<br />

Melbourne Cup day event, Cup Day at THE STABLES.<br />

I look forward to seeing you all there!<br />

A Record 183 Attend August<br />

Family Group Gatherings<br />

Once again, the <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Family Group Gatherings proved a<br />

tremendous success.<br />

Held over three eventful nights, the seven dinners (which were at Coffs Harbour, Nowra,<br />

Parramatta, North Ryde, Penrith, Bathurst and Gosford) were attended by a record<br />

total of 183 parents of children who’ve had a child go through cancer treatment<br />

at Westmead.<br />

Together parents enjoyed a great meal, laughed, cried (in North Ryde they sang!) and<br />

shared stories of amazing courage. As always, new friendships were formed and old<br />

ones renewed.<br />

A program designed to promote solidarity and generate mutual support amongst<br />

parents going through a similar challenge, the Family Group Gatherings are now in their<br />

third year. Here’s what some of the parents had to say:<br />

“<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> has provided our family the opportunity to share our experience and raise<br />

awareness which is therapy in itself. We have been able to stay in contact with other wonderful<br />

families who share the same sort of situation.”<br />

“Everyone was warm and friendly and were sharing<br />

their stories throughout the night... We swapped email<br />

addresses and I am sure we will keep in touch.”<br />

“A really lovely dinner, thank you so much for your work<br />

and support. Much appreciated!”<br />

Cancer Survivor<br />

Gets On Board!<br />

Over the next several weeks, Jasmin Mills will<br />

join us as an intern and valued marketing<br />

assistant. Jasmin was diagnosed with<br />

osteosarcoma in 2001 at the age of 13 and<br />

is now in remission. As part of her double<br />

degree in Law and Public Communications,<br />

she will be assisting <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> with our<br />

marketing strategy and<br />

social media. Jasmin’s<br />

personal insight into<br />

the plight of families at<br />

the Westmead cancer<br />

unit coupled with her<br />

specialised skills ensures<br />

she’ll be a great asset<br />

to the team.


Spotlight on Survival Kits<br />

When families are first admitted to the children’s cancer unit at Westmead, they<br />

are usually not prepared for a lengthy stay. To help them survive those first few<br />

shell-shocked days, <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> provides all newly diagnosed families with<br />

Survival Kits. Containing a range of useful items such as toiletries, vouches<br />

for the hospital café and parking and diary, Survival Kits help make life that<br />

essential bit easier during a very stressful time.<br />

Thank You from the Burtons An email to <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> from Jodi Burton..<br />

I will never forget the day I received my expecting, along the lines of “she might<br />

Survival Kit. It felt like Christmas. We opened need some antibiotics and a patch”.<br />

ours when we got home and my son Josh<br />

was so excited. You see, when we found<br />

Jess’s tumour it was during the holidays<br />

(Monday 13th October) and we were on<br />

our way to Movie World then all of a sudden<br />

our lives were on the biggest rollercoaster<br />

ride imaginable.<br />

He then sent us to Brisbane where we met<br />

with Dr Gyles who is a paediatric eye doctor<br />

and he confirmed it was cancer. Not once<br />

did my six year old son, Josh, ask when we’ll<br />

be going to Movie World. I think he knew<br />

by the tears in our eyes our holiday was<br />

over. We drove back that night and arrived<br />

Instead of going to the theme park we home Tuesday lunchtime. Wednesday we<br />

drove to the Gold Coast Hospital where we went for a catscan and on Saturday Jess<br />

met four different eye specialists and then lost her eye.<br />

finally an American doctor who basically<br />

said: “Your daughter has cancer and will<br />

probably lose her eye by the end of the<br />

week.” A big difference from what we were<br />

<strong>The</strong> next day was to be Josh’s sixth birthday<br />

and I had organised a huge surprise party<br />

for him and 20 of his friends at a nearby park.<br />

I had to ring all the parents and cancel the<br />

party. So poor Josh had his birthday at the<br />

hospital with his baby sister.<br />

Jess and I came home again the following<br />

Tuesday and Josh’s eyes lit up for the first<br />

time in I don’t know how long to see soooo<br />

much stuff in one bag. I know for a fact that<br />

both Jess and Josh’s favourite thing is the<br />

Tom and Jerry DVD – they still watch it today.<br />

You see, you made my son’s day and made<br />

up for all he had lost. Jess was not the only<br />

one suffering and that bag full of goodies was<br />

the most exciting thing, besides his mum and<br />

sister being home, that Josh had seen in ages.<br />

Thank you for everything you do and please<br />

keep up the good work.<br />

All our love, Jodi and the Burtons<br />

Play <strong>The</strong>rapy Grants<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> would like to thank the following organisations for their recent generous<br />

contributions towards the Play <strong>The</strong>rapy program for financial year 2009-10.<br />

Masonicare – $4,660<br />

Blackhill CDSE – $5,493.62<br />

Woolworths Brookvale – $1,000<br />

<strong>The</strong> program provides an opportunity for<br />

kids to safely explore and express their<br />

feelings, and to reconnect with the joyous<br />

spontaneity of childhood. This much-loved<br />

program also teaches children techniques<br />

to help them cope with painful procedures,<br />

helping them gain a sense of control over their experience.<br />

Welcome Leah<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> would like to welcome Leah Allan as our new<br />

Business Manager. Having worked in communications for<br />

the Australian Army for close to eight years, Leah’s decision<br />

for a career change coincided nicely with our needing a<br />

dedicated, highly organised professional to assume the<br />

position. Leah’s role will be to take care of <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>’<br />

books and to oversee the charity’s day-to-day operations.


Patient of the Month – Jessie Burton<br />

At not quite three years of age, Jessie<br />

Burton is one spirited little battler. Having<br />

been diagnosed last October with<br />

retinoblastoma, she’s endured painful<br />

chemotherapy and the loss of her right<br />

eye. And yet, according to her mother<br />

Jodi, she’s never once complained. Jessie<br />

finished up treatment in February of this<br />

year and has been given the all clear. In<br />

Jessie’s own words, she’s "hanging to get<br />

back to pre-school" which she’ll do after her<br />

next routine scan. Here, Jodi shares with us<br />

a some of Jessie’s favourite things.<br />

Favourite colour?<br />

Today it’s black, but mostly pinks and purples.<br />

Favourite toy?<br />

Jessie has many favourites, mostly anything<br />

to do with outside like bikes, scooters or<br />

buckets and shovels. She does also like to<br />

play with her Barbies.<br />

Favourite food?<br />

Jess has many favourite foods but I think<br />

prawns would have to go down as one of<br />

the preferred.<br />

Favourite game?<br />

Jessie loves to play tip with her big brother<br />

Josh. Her favourite board game is a game<br />

called Zingo (picture bingo).<br />

Favourite activity?<br />

She has just gone back to swimming and<br />

the smile on her face is the most heartwarming<br />

thing. She's a big girl now and no<br />

longer needs mum in the pool. She is so full<br />

of confidence and character and life. After<br />

seeing her little legs going 100 miles an hour,<br />

Jessie B Burton is gonna be the next<br />

Madame Butterfly. She also likes to play<br />

tennis with Pop and doesn't hit a bad<br />

ball for a child with one eye – her hand<br />

eye coordination is really amazing!<br />

More treasured dream?<br />

I would have to say definitely to become<br />

a dancer, although I'm not too sure if she'll<br />

be a ballerina or a hip hopper yet, but<br />

she does have some moves. She loves to<br />

dress up and dance with dad.


World’s Most Expensive Pizza<br />

Raises $1,850<br />

On Monday the 17th of August, Stella Italian Kitchen in Collaroy auctioned off the world’s<br />

most expensive pizza, with all proceeds going to <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>. Bidding at the packed house<br />

was hotly contested, but finally this gourmet delight was sold for $1,850, making it Australia’s<br />

most expensive pizza.<br />

Comprising of highly sought after shaved Australian truffle, porcini mushrooms, authentic<br />

Italian pork sausage and buffalo mozzarella, the pizza was cooked fresh at the auction and<br />

served to the highest bidder – Sue Grant.<br />

A huge thank you to Nick Salermo and his team at Stella Italian Kitchen, as well as Sue Grant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Pittwater House<br />

Crazy Hair Day<br />

On Thursday the 6th of August, <strong>The</strong> Pittwater House<br />

Schools welcomed <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> to their annual<br />

Athletics Carnival where we held a ‘Crazy Hair for a<br />

Gold Coin Donation’ stand. <strong>The</strong> sporty students had<br />

their hair sprayed with their house colours - red, blue,<br />

green, yellow and white. <strong>The</strong> girls had ribbon tied into<br />

their hair, and the boys sported very cool Mohawks!<br />

<strong>The</strong> students raised over $700 for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> – thank<br />

you to everyone involved.<br />

Painting<br />

Auctioned for<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> 500 strong crowd at the opening of the<br />

Sydney City Marine were privy to a spectacle<br />

when they gathered on Thursday 30th July.<br />

Courtesy of the talents of local artist, Brad<br />

Blaze, a blank canvas transformed into a<br />

vibrant cityscape of the Sydney harbour right<br />

before their eyes, in only a matter of minutes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> painting then went under the hammer<br />

to Dean Leigh-Smith from Gold Coast City<br />

Marina for $2,500, with all proceeds going to<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>.


CITY2SURF SPECIAL<br />

Message from the Team Captain<br />

On Sunday 9th of August 2009, 350<br />

members of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />

City2Surf Team (including Cisco<br />

<strong>Kids</strong>) met at 8:00am on a cold street<br />

corner just minutes away from <strong>The</strong><br />

Sun Herald’s City2Surf start line in<br />

Sydney city.<br />

Three months prior to this time, I was<br />

named Team Captain of our first ever<br />

City2Surf team and registrations opened.<br />

This is when the fun began. I have always<br />

been blown away by the generosity and<br />

supportiveness of all members of the <strong>Cure</strong><br />

<strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> family and once again, they<br />

did not let me down. A mix of oncology<br />

families, oncology staff, small businesses,<br />

large businesses, those that had never<br />

heard of <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>, those who have<br />

Walking For Scotty<br />

In honour of their friend, Scott Darley,<br />

who tragically lost his life last October, the<br />

Walking for Scotty team topped the charts<br />

raising a mammoth $22,445 for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong><br />

<strong>Kids</strong> at this year’s City2Surf.<br />

“I’m not sure exactly how,” Scott Darley<br />

had said to his mother after attending<br />

Bailey’s Dinner in aid of <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>,<br />

where he’d first heard about the work of our<br />

charity, “but I really want to do something<br />

to help <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>.” <strong>The</strong> very next week,<br />

the young speedway racer’s life came<br />

to a tragic end when his car crashed at<br />

Parramatta City Raceway.<br />

To honour Scott’s wish to make a difference<br />

to the lives of families confronting childhood<br />

cancer, his friends and family have since<br />

given generously in his memory, and rallied<br />

the support of the wider community. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

fundraising efforts for the City2Surf brings<br />

the total amount raised for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong><br />

in Scott’s memory<br />

to $49,331.<br />

One of Scott’s best mates, Stu McCarthy<br />

was the organiser behind the Walking for<br />

Scotty team, AKA “Scotty’s Squad”.<br />

“We started fundraising in June,” Stu says,<br />

“we’ve raised support through our friends<br />

and family, as well as the speedway<br />

community. It’s been a great way to give<br />

back, and to get fit and have fun in the<br />

process. It was awesome doing the walk on<br />

the day with the whole <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> team,<br />

everywhere you looked there were purple<br />

caps and orange T-Shirts – Scott would<br />

have loved it!”<br />

CICSO <strong>Kids</strong><br />

When CISCO set out to do the City2Surf as<br />

part of a teambuilding exercise, little did<br />

they realise their efforts would culminate in<br />

a tremendous $20,010 for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>!<br />

“<strong>The</strong> idea to do the City2Surf came<br />

about because we were looking for a<br />

teambuilding activity,” says Cisco’s Anne<br />

de Brito. “<strong>Our</strong> CSR Coordinator Samantha<br />

Birmingham had a connection with <strong>Cure</strong><br />

<strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>, so when she told us about the<br />

charity’s work and suggested we do the<br />

fun run in their aid, we all agreed it was the<br />

perfect option.”<br />

Initially, the Cisco <strong>Kids</strong> team comprised<br />

exclusively of members of the evolving<br />

team, but soon word got around the<br />

company and staff from all areas wanted<br />

to get involved. In the end, a total of 84<br />

people from all divisions of Cisco raised<br />

funds and slogged out the 14 kilometres for<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>.


“It was a great way for people from<br />

different parts of the company<br />

to get to know each other,” Anne<br />

says. “One of the great things that<br />

came out of this was that as well as<br />

spreading awareness about <strong>Cure</strong><br />

<strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>, it also sent the message<br />

that as a team, we can achieve<br />

amazing things together.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cisco <strong>Kids</strong> team raised a very impressive<br />

$20,010 for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>, helping us top our<br />

goal. Thanks guys!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cannocks’ Story<br />

On the first of January this year, young<br />

Levi Cannock was diagnosed with acute<br />

lymphoblastic leukaemia. Only two and<br />

half years old at the time, Levi showed<br />

a tremendous amount of courage as he<br />

endured 29 arduous days in hospital. Since<br />

this time he has continued to bravely face<br />

chemotherapy, while his parents, Nathan<br />

and Kylie, have dedicated every spare<br />

minute to raising support for the <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong><br />

<strong>Kids</strong> City2Surf team.<br />

<strong>The</strong> family raised an impressive $4,756 from<br />

friends and family as well as the broader<br />

community. Kylie’s mother, Sue, held a<br />

cake stall at her work, which raised over a<br />

thousand dollars. Nathan, who works as a<br />

sales representative, even put the word out<br />

to customers, many of whom got behind<br />

him with a donation.<br />

When the event day finally arrived Nathan<br />

gave his all and combated the steep and<br />

winding route in an impressive 92 minutes!<br />

But Nathan and Kylie’s greatest reward<br />

is still to come – at the end of this month,<br />

just three days before Levi’s third birthday,<br />

their son will have his central line removed<br />

marking the end of intravenous chemo.<br />

To thank friends and family for their support<br />

and to give them greater insight into the<br />

importance of their donation, Nathan and<br />

Kylie have given all their sponsors a specially<br />

made DVD with footage of Levi’s journey<br />

with cancer.<br />

<strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> would like to thank the<br />

Cannock family for their tremendous efforts<br />

and for sharing their story.


Regional Support for the Woods Family<br />

When the Woods family put out the word that they were doing the City2Surf, the<br />

response from the local Forbes and Australian Wool community was amazing.<br />

More than 50 people headed straight to the website to make an online donation,<br />

amounting to $5,340 for <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Woods family live in Forbes in central<br />

NSW, where Rowan operates a wool<br />

broking business, and Suzanne is an<br />

Ultrasonographer at the local hospital. On<br />

the 3rd of November last year, their lives<br />

were turned upside down when their then<br />

12 year old daughter, Eliza, was diagnosed<br />

with acute myelogenous leukaemia. On<br />

the 6th of March this year, following several<br />

bouts of intensive chemotherapy, Eliza<br />

underwent a successful bone marrow<br />

transplant, with the donor (Eliza’s older sister,<br />

Aimee) proving a perfect tissue match.<br />

After speaking with <strong>Cure</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> CEO,<br />

Carolyn Dodds, at the hospital in early<br />

April of this year, Eliza’s father Rowan<br />

decided to register for this year’s City2Surf.<br />

Rowan’s wife Suzanne, and their two eldest<br />

daughters Kristen & Aimee, followed suit,<br />

and the family quickly put the word out<br />

to their friends and family, as well as their<br />

business contacts. It wasn’t long before the<br />

donations began pouring in – even from<br />

their competitors in the wool industry!<br />

“We had always wanted to do the<br />

City2Surf,” Rowan says “but now we had a<br />

new and very compelling reason to do so”.<br />

“It was a fantastic experience,” Rowan adds,<br />

“it was so inspiring to be part of the biggest<br />

fundraising team – I can’t wait to do it again<br />

next year. Next year we hope to have our<br />

entire family, including Eliza, as part of the<br />

team. <strong>Our</strong> son Rhys had work commitments<br />

this year, and our youngest daughter,<br />

Georgia was on a school excursion!”<br />

Having just turned 13 on August 17th, Eliza is<br />

recovering well at home. She looks forward<br />

to resuming school in term four, after the<br />

October school holidays.<br />

Thanks to the Woods family for their<br />

tremendous efforts – we look forward to their<br />

participation again next year!
