A Journey of Compassion: Back on Track in the Pilbara
In the sun-soaked Pilbara last September, the education team from Back on Track, with Program Director Kylie Dalton, led the way to a heartfelt mission: to provide educational support to all children in Western Australia who are battling cancer.
The goal was straightforward – connect with families, schools, and services in this remote region. The team shared the Back on Track program with the community and let them know about the incredible help they can provide to any child diagnosed with cancer in Western Australia.
Back on Track is a Child Cancer Research Foundation initiative that ensures that children who go through cancer treatment do not fall through the cracks with their education due to the enormous strain treatment can have.
“What I experienced was truly humbling,” shared Kylie. “The gratitude from every person we met was overwhelming. Families, schools, and services warmly embraced us.”
It was apparent that childhood cancer had tested these families, but hope shone through. With Back on Track‘s help, the team promised to bring the enthusiasm back to their child’s education.
“For me, this journey was my passion, knowing that we held the power to make a lasting impact in the lives of all children with cancer across the whole of Western Australia,” explained Kylie.
Location and distance should not deter an organisation from providing its services where it is needed most. When a child survives cancer, their hopes and dreams deserve to survive, too.
