Local businesses get WA childhood cancer survivors back on track
The sky is the limit for young cancer survivors, thanks to the support of local businesses, PEACH and AWA Alliance Bank. Following the launch of a new advocacy-based education program, patients in remission will be armed with the hands-on tools they need to reach their potential. A first of its kind in WA, the Back on Track initiative, powered by The Child Cancer Research Foundation, ensures students don’t fall through the cracks following treatment, providing them and their families with the support and guidance they need during the often-unsettling transition back to the classroom.
Now, two businesses in our State’s South and Peel Regions have joined the mission, arming students with the resources they need to thrive. Proudly donating $40,000 to the Child Cancer Research Foundation over the past 25 years, PEACH (Personnel Employed at Alcoa Charity Help) has showed its support once again, by contributing $12,000 for IT equipment, to ensure young minds have the tools to get back to their education during and post treatment.
