Education support for kids with cancer

For young Marley Brown, the dream of becoming a theoretical physicist or astrophysicist is now even more possible with the support of the Back on Track program.

Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at 15 months old, Marley’s treatment impacted his development at kindy and well into his early primary school years. Now in year 9, Marley is armed with the resources and support he needs to feel empowered to succeed in the classroom and to infinity and beyond.

At the young age of seven, Liam received a diagnosis of Burkitt’s Lymphoma, an uncommon and highly aggressive form of cancer. During his battle, Liam lost six precious months of his childhood, as the hospital became his new dwelling. Unable to attend school and too ill to engage in any educational activities, he missed out on vital opportunities for learning and personal development.

Now, cancer-free Liam is ready to resume the sense of normalcy that he and his family cherished prior to his diagnosis. One essential aspect of this return to normalcy is ensuring Liam gets back on track with his academic journey.
