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 />

Sun Herald’s City2Surf start line in<br />
Sydney city.<br />
Three months prior to this time, I was<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 />

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!
